International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia

The International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991, more commonly referred to as the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia or ICTY, is a body of the United Nations established to prosecute serious crimes committed during the Yugoslav Wars, and to try their perpetrators. The tribunal is an ad hoc court which is located in The Hague, Netherlands.

The Court was established by Resolution 827 of the United Nations Security Council, which was passed on 25 May 1993. It has jurisdiction over four clusters of crimes committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991: grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, violations of the laws or customs of war, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The maximum sentence it can impose is life imprisonment. Various countries have signed agreements with the UN to carry out custodial sentences.

For Yugoslavia

For Yugoslavia (Serbian: За Југославију/Za Jugoslaviju) was a political alliance that existed in the Republic of Montenegro from the late 1990s to 2001. It was led by Momir Bulatović's SNP and based on pro-Miloševićism. It emphasized the necessity to maintain the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the state union of Serbia and Montenegro.

It was composed by:

With the purge within SNP when its entire pro-Momirist leadership left and founded the People's Socialist Party, SNP broke away from its pro-Milošević partners and formed the Together for Yugoslavia Alliance which managed to maintain a stalwart opposition.

Bulatović's supporters founded a pro-Milošević bloc known as the Patriotic Coalition for Yugoslavia that succeeded the For Yugoslavia alliance.

Yugoslavia

Yugoslavia (Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian, Slovene: Jugoslavija, Југославија) was a country in Southeast Europe during most of the 20th century. It came into existence after World War I in 1918 under the name of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes by the merger of the provisional State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs (itself formed from territories of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire) with the formerly independent Kingdom of Serbia. The Serbian royal House of Karađorđević became the Yugoslav royal dynasty. Yugoslavia gained international recognition on 13 July 1922 at the Conference of Ambassadors in Paris. The country was named after the South Slavic peoples and constituted their first union, following centuries in which the territories had been part of the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary.

Renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia on 3 October 1929, it was invaded by the Axis powers on 6 April 1941. In 1943, a Democratic Federal Yugoslavia was proclaimed by the Partisan resistance. In 1944, the king recognised it as the legitimate government, but in November 1945 the monarchy was abolished. Yugoslavia was renamed the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in 1946, when a communist government was established. It acquired the territories of Istria, Rijeka, and Zadar from Italy. Partisan leader Josip Broz Tito ruled the country as president until his death in 1980. In 1963, the country was renamed again as the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY).

1554 Yugoslavia

1554 Yugoslavia, provisional designation 1940 RE, is a stony asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, about 17 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Serbian astronomer Milorad Protić at Belgrade Astronomical Observatory, Serbia, on 6 September 1940.

The asteroid is a member of the Eunomia family, a large group of S-type asteroids and the most prominent family in the intermediate main-belt. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.1–3.1 AU once every 4 years and 3 months (1,547 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.20 and is tilted by 12 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a well-defined rotation period of 3.89 hours, measured by several photometric light-curve observations. Based on measurements by the Japanese Akari satellite and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the body's albedo is inconclusive – ranging from 0.07 to 0.27 – while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link (CALL) assumes an albedo of 0.21, typical for stony asteroids.
