The Judges of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) are holding an in-person Plenary Session at the Seat of the Mechanism in The Hague, Netherlands, from November 28th to 30th, 2022. The Plenary Session is being attended by 23 Mechanism Judges from a roster of 25 Judges, who exercise their functions remotely unless their presence at the Seats of the branches of the IRMCT in The Hague or Arusha is required.

This is the Mechanism’s third in-person Plenary Session. The Judges will discuss issues regarding the work of the Chambers and the legal framework of the Mechanism, and part of the Plenary Session will be dedicated to diversity and inclusion issues.
