Robinson took this opportunity to highlight the progress made since his last address in October 2010 and to reiterate his call to member states to support the Tribunal’s completion of its work in an expeditious and fair manner. He renewed his plea for the international community to support the Tribunal in retaining its staff and in the establishment of a victims’ trust fund. “More than 6,900 witnesses and accompanying persons from all over the world have been called to appear before the Tribunal.
