The UN judicial body officially ended the prosecution of all indictees for crimes committed since 1991.
There have been 161 accused, 90 have been convicted, 19 have been released, 13 have been submitted before local courts, and 37 procedures have been withdrawn.
In 108 days of court trials, 4650 witnesses have been heard, 2.5 million pages have been transliterated.
Under the TPI trial have also passed Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, the two top perpetrators of crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the Srebrenica massacre and sentenced to life in prison.
The International Criminal Court's activity ended in the most unexpected manner, with the suicide of Croatian General Slobodan Praljak shortly after receiving the sentence.
