Between November 4-5, 2014, Professor Charles C. Jalloh was one of the few invited academic participants to the Seventh Colloquium of International Prosecutors hosted by the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (UN ICTR). The conference, Local Prosecution of International Crimes: Challenges and Prospects, was convened by the Office of the Prosecutor as part of the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Security Council’s establishment of the UN ICTR. Prosecutors from the Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, Cambodia and Lebanon Tribunals shared best practices and lessons learned with attorneys from national, sub-regional and regional courts in the prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The prosecutors and participants adopted a resolution underscoring the importance of accountability for international crimes for justice, peace, security, and the well-being of the world and the international community’s indispensable role in the fight against impunity. Before joining academia, Professor Jalloh worked as a legal officer to the judges of Trial Chamber I in the UN ICTR where he assisted with drafting opinions in high profile cases involving, inter alia, the architect of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.
