At the ICTR, approximately 3,400 witnesses testified

84% of witnesses were granted protection measures

WISP supports 106 victims and witnesses living with HIV

Only 23% of witnesses called to testify were female

77 witnesses testified before ICTR via video-conference link

ICC Witness Protective Measures (Rules 87 & 88)

Nearly identical to ICTY measures.

Victims & Witnesses Unit (VWU) conducts familiarisation process for witnesses

Protocol agreed that governs each trial. Chambers split on allowing "proofing."

Parties calling witnesses must identify to VWU any "vulnerabilities" of witnesses

Parties should consult with VWU about any requests for protective measures

VWU often assists witnesses in reading back of their prior written statements

After testimony, witnesses may give feedback on experience in a questionnaire.
