The ICTR's Completion Strategy — Challenges and Possible Solutions

Erik Møse*

* Judge; former President (2003–2007) and Vice-President (1999–2003) of the ICTR; Member, Board of Advisors of the Journal.


  Abstract

In conformity with previous projections, the ICTR will have completed cases of almost 70 accused in leadership positions by the end of 2008. Judgment writing in some trials will spill over into 2009. The remaining challenges are to complete on-going trials, commence the last cases, and arrest indictees at large. The recent arrest of three indictees means that their trials can only be completed in 2009. The Security Council has therefore extended the mandate of Trial Chamber judges from 2008 to 2009. The time needed to complete all work depends on whether some cases will be transferred to Rwanda and whether other indictees at large will be arrested. In parallel with the downsizing of the ICTR it is important to maintain some degree of continuity and ensure residual functions in the future.

This article is an updated version of a lecture presented at the meeting ‘New Vistas of International Criminal Justice’ held in Florence on 15 and 16 May 2008.
