Being on the lam for 26 years is not evidence of his guilt, nor is his arrest. To this end, I unreservedly support his efforts to avail himself of all his rights through a robust and unapologetically vigorous defence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reading <em>The 26-year hunt for Africa\u2019s most wanted man \u2013 <\/em>which I strongly urge those who will elect the next ICC Prosecutor to read \u2013 validates much of what I previously wrote. That is, what skills and experience a successful ICC Prosecutor must possess, and why the selection committee\u2019s screening process was ineffectual.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Contrary to what one reader seemed to suggest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kevinjonheller\/status\/1323139353023950848?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet<\/a>, I am not endorsing Serge Brammertz to be the next ICC Prosecutor. I don\u2019t have a dog in this hunt. I am just a defence lawyer, well beyond the age of employment at the ICC\u2019s Office of the Prosecutor, seeking neither position nor favor. Brammertz is however eminently, and in my opinion, indisputably qualified, ticking virtually all the qualification boxes I listed in my post. Other excluded candidates may also fall in this category.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But you may ask, why butt in \u2013 yet again? Simple. Reading this article not only validates what I previously posted, but further underscores the absurdity of the selection committee\u2019s conclusion that Brammertz was unqualified to even be considered as a finalist. Not to speak out on this travesty seems cowardly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"perfect-pullquote vcard pullquote-align-left pullquote-border-placement-right\"><blockquote><p>We also see an unassuming yet sagacious diplomat at work.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>In <em>The 26-year hunt for Africa\u2019s most wanted man<\/em>, we see a seasoned career prosecutor possessing virtually all the qualifications and skills necessary for the ICC Prosecutor. Impressive is the judgment and strategic thinking he exercised, which, in my opinion, can only come from extensive hands-on experience where strategic and tactical thinking skills are honed. We also see an unassuming yet sagacious diplomat at work. The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals has no police force; it must rely on the good will and cooperation of state agencies. This required finesse, knowledge, contacts, quiet persistence, and more. Having a track record and being a known quantity for professionalism and integrity also helped.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I agree with one reader who <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MilenaSterio\/status\/1323334116335620097?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted<\/a> that the focus on the next ICC Prosecutor should have more \u201cdiplomatic\/political\/ leadership\/strategic qualities,\u201d as opposed to courtroom skills. I implicitly alluded to this when noting that virtuosity in trial and appellate advocacy skills was not necessary. But to be clear, judgment and strategic thinking comes from years of trial and appellate experience, part and parcel of which is appreciating how a case is properly and ethically investigated so that when the case goes to trial and appeal, the optimum result is achieved. And for what it\u2019s worth, few advocates ever rise to the level of virtuosity (a category above excellence), and those who do, rarely covet the trappings and headaches of managing an office over the adrenaline highs of the courtroom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brammertz was not the only one overlooked and deemed unqualified to merit consideration by the States Parties. But reading this article on how Brammertz re-fashioned the investigation (I\u2019ll not spoil by revealing), and if I may say, immodestly, knowing what I learned over the years about investigating, it bears repeating that it is astonishing that Brammertz, with his stellar credentials and impressive accomplishments, did not make the final cut. The exclusion of other qualified candidates is likewise baffling. Reasonable minds cannot but conclude that either the fix was in, or the members of the selection committee were not up to the task.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To be fair and decent to all those who excluded from the <em>final-four<\/em>, the States Parties should take the high road, seize control of the process, and interview all 14 candidates. The extra time and effort it will take to transparently elect the next ICC Prosecutor is well worth it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/michaelgkarnavas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/comments2.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-919\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/michaelgkarnavas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/comments2.png?resize=274%2C184&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"184\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In The 26-year hunt for Africa\u2019s most wanted man, reported by Tom Wilson in the Financial Times (accessible through google), Serge Brammertz comes across as a combination of John le Carr\u00e9\u2019s George Smiley (methodically and strategically using spycraft with the help of European security agencies, Interpol, and the Rwanda\u2019s National Public Prosecution Authority) and Michael &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelgkarnavas.net\/blog\/2020\/11\/11\/postscript-electing-the-next-icc-prosecutor\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;POSTSCRIPT: ELECTING THE NEXT ICC PROSECUTOR&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-icc","category-international-criminal-law"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>POSTSCRIPT: ELECTING THE NEXT ICC PROSECUTOR - michaelgkarnavas.net\/Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/michaelgkarnavas.net\/blog\/2020\/11\/11\/postscript-electing-the-next-icc-prosecutor\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"POSTSCRIPT: ELECTING THE NEXT ICC PROSECUTOR - michaelgkarnavas.net\/Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In The 26-year hunt for Africa\u2019s most wanted man, reported by Tom Wilson in the Financial Times (accessible through google), Serge Brammertz comes across as a combination of John le Carr\u00e9\u2019s George Smiley (methodically and strategically using spycraft with the help of European security agencies, Interpol, and the Rwanda\u2019s National Public Prosecution Authority) and Michael &hellip; Continue reading &quot;POSTSCRIPT: ELECTING THE NEXT ICC PROSECUTOR&quot;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/michaelgkarnavas.net\/blog\/2020\/11\/11\/postscript-electing-the-next-icc-prosecutor\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"michaelgkarnavas.net\/Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-11-11T12:00:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/michaelgkarnavas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/comments2.png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael G.
