As a Queen's Counsel and member of the Bar, I am self employed, and need no external authorisation in order to dedicate the required time to the work of the mandate.

This has enabled me establish necessary contacts that might be useful in directing research for the work of the mandate. Country visits, investigations, examination of issues, and timely drafting of reports are all familiar to me. In addition, I have directly engaged with various Heads of State, cabinet officials, senior members of the judiciary in many continents of the world.

I am flexible in my work practices and therefore confirm my availability and commitment to dedicate at least 3 months a year to mandate related work if appointed.

III. MOTIVATION LETTER (600 word limit, must be included below and not in a separate e-mail or as an attachment)

The road to justice in the aftermath of armed conflict is rarely straight. Many women, children and men in post conflict countries that are victims of human rights abuses live with no hope of getting any closure to the cycle of violence they have experienced. In the last decades, the international community has unequivocally asserted the importance of combatting impunity for human rights violations and has made an effort in developing transitional justice processes for dealing with the past human rights abuses. The establishment of this mandate is a positive step towards human development and a reaffirmation that the member States of the Human Rights Council are determined to recognise victims of human rights abuses as beneficiaries of the processes.

For more than 25 years, I have devoted my career to criminal justice, human rights and to strengthening the rule of law. My work has covered all the four elements under the Special Rapporteur's mandate (criminal justice, seeking the truth, reparations for victims and prevention of repetition of human rights violations). Each element aims to provide recognition to victims as "rights holders" and to acknowledge the harm and suffering they endured. Having been privileged to act for victims of human rights abuses at the international and national level, I am sensitive when dealing with such victims and am acutely aware of their circumstances. Effective victim participation and an enlightened and meaningful gender approach is essential to any criminal justice process or process aimed at securing the truth and preventing reoccurrance of violations.

I believe that I have the distinct advantage in that I have prosecuted, defended and represented the victims in international cases where serious international crimes are alleged. I have actively investigated such cases in post conflict countries and other fragile states including Libya, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cambodia, Sudan, Kenya, Kosovo and Bosna-Herzegovina.The fact that I have acted for the Prosecution, Defence and Victims in different cases before the ICC, ICTY, ICTR, SPSC, SCSL, STL, ECCC, EULEX courts may give me a degree of credibility with States and other actors. This varied experience can be used to help foster an environment of cooperation - rather than adversarial opposition. Having acted for all sides in cases, not only helps demonstrate my independence and ability to be impartial, but I believe that it can lend additional credibility to my role as Special Rapporteur. The mandate holder must be cognisant of his or her role and be prepared to work within the terms of the mandate conferred. It is pertinent to note that States, NGO's, Regional organisations all have a role to play in seeking to prevent non-recurrence of human rights violations.

I understand that for transitional justice to be effective, it must focus on combatting impunity and building trust in the different groups within the society. In other words, it is an attempt for the people that have suffered human rights abuses to come to terms with the legacy of past atrocities so as to ensure accountability, secure justice and achieve reconciliation.

7 | P a g e




I believe that transitional justice measures must include a significant dimension of institution building. As such, the mandate holder must be determined to help in restoring the rule of law and strengthening key institutions such as the police, state departments and the judiciary so as to foster reconciliation in society. This necessarily includes th use of judicial and non-judicial mechanisms.

If selected as Special Rapporteur, I will strive towards entrenching the right to truth, justice, reparations and guarantees on non-recurrence. This would entail having first hand experience with victims, as well as engaging with alleged perpetrators and state institutions. This dialogue and work will assist in establishing the truth of human rights abuses and preventing recurrence.The aim of the present mandate is nobel indeed -and remains all too necessary as events around the world attest.
