In order "to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women", the United Nations has embarked on criminalization of acts constituting massive violations of human rights and humanitarian law. Today, in evaluating UN efforts in the protection and promotion of human rights, both its activities in the fields of international human rights and international criminal law need be considered pari pasu. The crux of this paper is to consider and make a comparative analysis of the Nuremberg Charter, Statutes of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda.
