The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) was established pursuant to Security Council resolution 1966 (2010) to continue the jurisdiction, rights and obligations and carry out the essential functions of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

It has two branches:

  • Arusha, Tanzania: Became operational 1 July 2012; covers the former ICTR
  • The Hague, Netherlands: Became operational 1 July 2013; covers the former ICTY

Financing

As with the ICTR and ICTY, the IRMCT is financed separately from the programme and peacekeeping budgets. The IRMCT has an annual budget that runs from January through December. Half of its assessed requirements are apportioned on the basis of the scale of assessments and the other half is apportioned on the basis of the peacekeeping scale of assessments.
