Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT)

Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT)

Full implementation of cooperation between the Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor (OWCP) and the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT) started in 2014. In the framework of his first working visit to the region in his capacity as MICT Chief Prosecutor, Justice Hassan Bubacar Jallow met the Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor and his team. At a meeting held on 8 September 2014, the two Prosecutors outlined the scope of their cooperation in the context of the new Mechanism's envisaged role, namely successful completion of all outstanding ICTY cases, and gradual takeover of the ICTY functions - a process that should coincide with the completion of the remaining ICTY cases.

The Memorandum on Understanding, concluded between Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukčević and MICT Chief Prosecutor Hassan Bubacar Jallow on 8 September 2014, provides for the OWCP cooperation with the MICT.

The MICT Chief Prosecutor was also a participant of the international conference entitled The Palić Process - Regional Cooperation, Achievements and Commitments, Ten Years Later. The conference was organized under the OWCP auspices in Palić from 1 to 3 December 2014.
