We're honoured to have Judge Graciela Gatti Santana, President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) at The Hague, give us a talk on her work at "the Mechanism," as it's commonly known. This UN court deals with matters arising from the work of earlier tribunals set up following conflicts in former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, including the tracking and prosecution of war crime fugitives.
Before becoming President of the Mechanism, Judge Gatti Santana worked within the Uruguayan judiciary for over 30 years, she has taught at various universities, and, in addition to her native Spanish, she is fluent in English, French and Italian.
Rome's CBC correspondent Megan Williams will moderate our Q&A with Judge Gatti. Book soon, as space is limited.
