The Management of International Criminal Justice Records: The Case of Rwandan Tribunal

Abstract

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) has been widely criticised for the slow pace of justice and for mismanagement. On the contrary, much has been achieved in an African context to assist in achieving peace and reconciliation for the people of Rwanda. The information management programme of the ICTR has developed some unique and innovative ways of dealing with its large and varied collection of judicial records. There is much to be proud of in the achievements of the Records and Archives Unit of ICTR. This paper aims to share with others the experience of ICTR in the management of large and varied judicial records.
