Solution

The ICTY Appeals Chamber in the Tadić case in 1995 established the Tribunal's jurisdiction over war crimes committed in non-international armed conflicts based on several considerations:

  1. A range of rules and principles had developed under customary international law to govern non-international armed conflicts. This means that over time, the international community had recognized certain norms and standards that apply even in conflicts not involving multiple nations.

  2. Violations of the rules and principles governing non-international armed conflicts entailed individual criminal responsibility under customary international law. This means that individuals could be held accountable for their actions in these conflicts, according to the established norms of international law.

  3. The Statute of the ICTY explicitly provided for individual criminal responsibility for violations of such rules and principles concerning non-international armed conflicts. This means that the legal framework of the ICTY itself recognized and provided for the prosecution of individuals who violated these norms in non-international armed conflicts.

Therefore, all of the above considerations led the Chamber to make its finding.
