Special Tribunal for Crimes Against Humanity
Explanation:
This is where context is crucial. People can't guess what you mean. I have only ever seen this term with Iraq mentioned somewhere before, after or interspersed in the above, so that's I'm going to have to safely assume that you mean.
This is the name of the court that is trying Saddam Hussein. It's also known in English as the "Iraqi Special Tribunal for Crimes Against Humanity" and the short form is the "Iraqi Special Tribunal".

What is this a title of? Is this a newspaper article, a book, or something else? These factors may affect the exact wording ("criminal court" versus "the criminal court," for instance).
