“After one and a half years at the Special Court, the time has come to move on”, Mr. Munlo told staff members last week.
Mr. Munlo became interim Registrar in October 2005. In February 2006, he was appointed Registrar of the Special Court by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
In taking up his post in 2006, Mr Munlo said his vision was “to consolidate what the Court has already achieved and to move forward in providing efficient and professional support to Chambers, Prosecution and Defence”.
Mr. Munlo numbered among his accomplishments as Registrar a more focused completion strategy which meets projected milestones, and improved working conditions for local staff.
He also pointed to the conclusion of a host agreement with the Government of the Netherlands and the Memorandum of Understanding with the ICC, to enable the Special Court to hold the trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor in The Hague.
