On 2 November 2017, the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies hosted the third lecture of the ICTY Legacy Lecture Series at Leiden University’s Hague campus.

The lecture, entitled “The Story of the ICTY Office of the Prosecutor: Starting from Scratch What We've Learned from 20 Years of OTP Investigations and Prosecutions”, was the third in a series of four, which each told the story of a different organ of the Tribunal and the Defence, as part of the ICTY Legacy Dialogues. The event was a unique opportunity to learn about the work of the OTP directly from its investigators, analysts and lawyers.

The opening remarks were delivered by Ms Michelle Jarvis, Deputy to the Prosecutor. The moderator was Mr Douglas Stringer, Senior Appeals Counsel and the panel was composed of four OTP staff members: Mr Bob Reid, Chief of Operations, Mr Peter McCloskey, Senior Trial Attorney, Ms Dorothea Hanson, Analyst and Ms Laurel Baig, Senior Appeals Counsel.
