On Thursday, 19 December 2019, the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (Mechanism) received law students from Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya, at the premises of the Mechanism’s Arusha branch.

During the visit, the students were briefed by representatives of the Registry, Chambers, and the Office of the Prosecutor on the mandate and structure of the Mechanism. The Head of Legal Studies at Strathmore University’s Law School Academy, Ms Claire Adionyi, thanked the Mechanism representatives for the briefing, emphasizing the importance of such visits for the students to gain an insight into the work of an international criminal court.

As part of their visit, the students were given the opportunity to tour the courtroom, the legal library and the archives research room of the Mechanism.
