About the Company

The International
Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (“Mechanism”) is mandated to perform
a number of essential functions previously carried out by the International
Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (“ICTR”) and the International Criminal Tribunal
for the former Yugoslavia (“ICTY”). In carrying out these essential functions
the Mechanism maintains the legacies of these two pioneering ad hoc
international criminal courts and strives to reflect best practices in the
field of international criminal justice.

The United Nations
Security Council created the Mechanism on 22 December 2010 as a “small,
temporary and efficient structure”. The Mechanism started operating on 1 July
2012 in Arusha, United Republic of Tanzania, and on 1 July 2013 in The Hague,
the Netherlands. The Arusha branch inherited functions from the ICTR, and the
Hague branch from the ICTY. During the initial years of the Mechanism’s
existence, it operated in parallel with the ICTR and the ICTY. Following the
closure of the ICTR (on 31 December 2015) and the ICTY (on 31 December 2017),
the Mechanism continued to operate as a stand-alone institution.
