But it appeared at the end as the: Yugoslavia: broke up in 1991 into 7 units. These units were not ethnically homogenous so matters got worse. Ethnic cleansing and mass murder became an issue. One new crime against humanity appears that was the mass rape of women. 40,000 muslim woman were raped to dishonor the men. So, the un set up the international criminal tribunal for. Sc creates an ad hoc and it has jurisdiction of people who had violated human rights in the territory of the yugoslavia since 1991 .
