"The Residual Special Court of Sierra Leone continues the mandate of the Special Court for Sierra Leone, a judicial body that was set up by the United Nations and the Government of Sierra Leone to preside over the prosecution of persons who bear the greatest responsibility for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in Sierra Leone after 30th of November in 1996 during the civil war. The court lists offices in Freetown and The Hague."
AoJ says this assignment is an affirmation of the highest confidence the international community has in the judicial system and Government of Botswana. Dingake is a jurist and scholar of international repute. His career path straddles academia, the corporate world and the judiciary. "We have all the confidence that Judge Dingake will execute his assignment with fairness and integrity and make us all proud," the statement says. The appointment is not a full time assignment and Dingake will sit from time to time as may be required by the President of the Court.
