Excerpt from :

...... Dominik Zimmerman (2008) highlights some of the points of this debate in terms of both the ICTY and the ICTR. The latter operates under the same conditions as the ICTY, while it focuses on Rwanda and the war crimes in this country. The number of cases tried to date by both tribunals, as well as their yearly budget has damaged its public image considerably. The ICTR for example has tried 35 people since its creation, with 27 cases ongoing. The ICTY has 26 individuals on trial, 9 cases on appeal, and 11 awaiting trial, while a further four suspects are at large. According to Zimmerman, even a 2009 extension of the deadline will not be sufficient to complete these activities. The author notes that the most viable strategy for handling the remaining workload is transferring the remaining cases to the national jurisdictions. This would further the success of the completion strategy, as already indicated above. It would also further enhance the proper allocation of the yearly budget for the tribunals and improve the image of this allocation in the public view
The ICTR does not appear to be in a much better position as far as workload is concerned.
