ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda issues OTP Strategic Plan (2016-2018).

Today, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mrs Fatou Bensouda, issued her new Strategic Plan that will guide the work of the Office of the Prosecutor (“OTP” or “Office”) for the period of 2016 to 2018.

The Strategic Plan for 2016-2018 builds upon the prosecutorial policy outlined in the 2012-2015 Strategic Plan; continuing to make quality a central feature of the functioning and performance of the Office in all spheres of its work.

“We will maintain the positive measures adopted by the 2012-2015 Strategic Plan and work to further enhance them by strictly adhering to our focus on quality output as well as the efficiency of our work”, said Prosecutor Bensouda. “These measures have already produced concrete results for our cases. We’ll spare no effort to ensure we consistently generate such outcomes”, she added.

The new Strategic Plan aims to further develop the Office’s high performance and adapt it to existing challenges. Viewed together, the combination of the new Strategic Plan, the proposed Basic Size, the performance indicators and the risk management initiatives undertaken by the Office, offers to both States Parties and other stakeholders, a comprehensive and integrated picture of the way forward for the Office in the years to come.

As per the policy of the OTP, the new Strategic Plan was promulgated following a process of extensive consultations. A draft of the Strategic Plan (2016-2018) was shared on 8 July 2015 with external partners, including States Parties, intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations, academia and affected communities, inviting input and comments by 28 August 2015. Following this consultation period, the comments received by the Office were carefully considered, and the final version of the Strategic Plan was adopted.
