On February 11, 2015, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) released a manual [3] on best practices for the referral of international criminal cases to national courts. According to a press release [4], the “manual documents the ICTR Office of the Prosecutor’s (OTP) experience in securing the referral of ten genocide indictments to national jurisdictions for trial.” Of the ten indictments, eight were referred to Rwanda and two to France. The OTP noted that the “referral of these indictments marked an important milestone in the ICTR’s completion strategy. Without the referral of these indictments, the ICTR’s work would have been incomplete and a gap in impunity could have resulted.” Thus, as part of a strategy “to preserve the ICTR’s legacy for future use,” the OTP “hope[s] this manual will assist other international and national courts to build on the ICTR’s achievements and empower national authorities to discharge their primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute international crimes in a manner consistent with international standards.”
