Lessons learned from accountability efforts undertaken in other country contexts
Examples of accountability efforts undertaken in other country contexts and in various international, hybrid to internationalized contexts, such as the Gambia, Senegal (Chad), Sierra Leone, Rwanda and CAR.
- Ways in which international, hybrid or internationalized mechanisms can be set up, what is needed to achieve this, their main features and challenges (e.g. differences between the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR)).
- Overview of regional and domestic accountability efforts and options, including the status of the Malabo Protocol, and the example of e.g. the Habre case in Senegal and CAR Special Criminal Court, and feasibility to adopt such a model to Sudan.
- Feasibility of an international, hybrid or internationalized form of justice and accountability for Sudan, what are victim’s wishes for accountability and the way it should take shape? What is most realistic and suitable to the Sudan context (e.g. effective, independent, credible, number and level of perpetrators, financial constraints)?
