Assisting the Rwanda Tribunal

In 1997, the Justice Program was expanded to render assistance to the Office of the Prosecutor of the Rwanda Tribunal. Since 1998 the Group, in cooperation with the New England School of Law, has provided over 75 legal memoranda to the Rwanda Tribunal’s Office of the Prosecutor. In June 2003, Michael Scharf travelled to Arusha at the invitation of the judges of the Rwanda Tribunal to make a series of presentations over a three day period to advise the judges and their law clerks on difficult issues pending before the Tribunal.The Program is currently run as "the War Crimes Research Lab" at Case Western Reserve University School of Law and as "The International War Crimes Prosecution Project" at New England School of Law.
