Registrars of international tribunals met at the field office of
the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Kampala, Uganda on 4
June, 2010, on the margins of the
Review Conference of the Rome Statute,
to discuss matters of the Registries’ responsibilities and
co-operation in the context of international criminal justice.
The participants were comprised of Silvana Arbia, Registrar of
the ICC, Adama Dieng, Registrar of the International Criminal
Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), John Hocking, Registrar of the
International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)
and Binta Mansaray, Registrar of the Special Court for Sierra
Leone (SCSL).
During the meeting, the Registrars reflected on the discussions
that took place at the
stocktaking exercise
during the Review Conference in Kampala. In particular, the
participants focused on areas within their respective
responsibilities, such as outreach, victims’ issues and
co-operation. They also underlined the importance of the work of
the Registry in the field of the ‘rule of law’. Furthermore, the
Registrars stressed the significance of the enduring legacy of
international tribunals and agreed to strengthen co-operation in
this respect.
The Registrars also expressed appreciation for the effective
collaboration on various practical matters - including issues
related to efficient court management - while agreeing to look
into reinforcing their links. They recalled the
joint declaration adopted in Venice on 3 July, 2009,
and decided to hold regular video conferences between their
annual meetings |
