On April 22, 2015, the National Transition Council of the government of the Central African Republic (CAR) voted to create a special criminal tribunal to address the atrocities that have taken place in the country in recent years. According to one report [3], the court will “be made up of 27 judges including 14 from CAR and 13 from other countries” and “presided over by a CAR judge while the chief prosecutor will be a foreign judge.” In September 2014, the International Criminal Court opened its second investigation [4] into the alleged crimes against humanity occurring in the CAR, and in January 2015, in their press briefing [5], UN-mandated investigators called “for the establishment of a ‘truly international’ tribunal with international judges who could objectively investigate and prosecute perpetrators of [war] crimes in the war torn country.”
