“I deeply hope that the horrors humanity has suffered during the 20th century will serve us as a painful lesson, and that the creation of the International Criminal Court will help us to prevent those atrocities from being repeated in the future.” - Dr Luis Moreno-Ocampo

Dr. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Prosecutor, International Criminal Court, The Hague on 'International Justice in Africa'

Luis Moreno-Ocampo was elected as the first Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on 21 April 2003. In 1985 Dr. Moreno-Ocampo was the deputy prosecutor in the "military juntas trial" in his home country, Argentina, the first case against top commanders responsible for mass atrocities since the Nuremberg trials. His mandate today is to investigate and prosecute the most serious crimes of concern to the international community, namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. He has currently opened investigations into the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Darfur (the Sudan) and the Central African Republic.

An independent and determined Prosecutor, Dr. Moreno-Ocampo has in the course of his career indicted presidents, ministers, top military commanders and militia leaders, alike.
