Dear Adrian
Great blog site! I wish there was enough time in the day to browse and learn.
Also glad to see that you have sections on sexual offences and human rights. You will recall that I am currently serving in the Office of the Prosecutor for the Intl Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. We are the first jurisdiction to have ever secured conviction for genocide and one of the Tribunal’s landmark decisions is in respect of rape as an act of genocide - as what happened in the Rwanda genocide. We are quite proud of this. I am, at the moment, consolidating the “best practice” for prosecuting rape and other gender-based crimes in international criminal law.
As a fellow Filipino - I am also proud to tell you that I have recently been selected as Chef de Cabinet to the first Chief Prosecutor (Argentinian Luis Moreno-Ocampo - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2965263.stm ) of the first-ever permanent International Criminal Court. Even though I have lived away from the Philippines for 26 years now, I have never given up my citizenship - which makes me even prouder to have this position.
A transition arrangement has been agreed betweent the two institutions which will see me as a shared resource - dividing my time this year between Arusha, Tanzania and The Hague. 2 weeks in each place every month for 2006.
I am just finishing an article for the Oxford University Press on information management in international criminal prosecutions. When I finish (IF I finish) I will share it with you.
Take care.
Mayee Bringas-Warren
