On October 13, 2014, President Theodor Meron of the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT) presented the mechanism’s second Annual Report to the UN General Assembly. According to a press release, President Meron “reported on the MICT’s progress and noted that it faced two pre-eminent challenges: apprehension of individuals indicted by the ICTR but not yet arrested, and relocation of individuals who were acquitted or finished serving sentences.” In his speech, he stated “that the Mechanism continues to make excellent progress at assuming relevant functions, and that it has already completed or is in the process of completing transfer of responsibilities from the ICTY and ICTR with regard to witness protection, archives, and other matters.”
