Practical recommendations drawn from 20 years of ICTR prosecutions.

Over the past 20 years, the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR or Tribunal) has indicted 93 persons who were among those most responsible for the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda. In the process, it learnt valuable lessons that will assist future prosecutors and others involved in the criminal justice system to successfully investigate, prosecute, and raise awareness about rape and other crimes of sexual violence at both the international and national levels. This best practices manual captures those lessons and provides practical recommendations to assist and guide future prosecutions.
