The Hague, Netherlands -- Situation: Côte d’Ivoire; Case: The Prosecutor v. Laurent Koudou Gbagbo

The initial appearance of Laurent Koudou Gbagbo before Pre-Trial Chamber III of the International criminal Court (ICC) is scheduled for Monday, 5 December 2011, at 14:00 (The Hague local time).

During this public hearing, Pre-Trial Chamber III, composed of Judges Silvia Fernández de Gurmendi (presiding judge), Elizabeth Odio Benito and Adrian Fulford, will verify the identity of the suspect and ensure that he was he was clearly informed of the charges brought against him and of his rights under the Rome Statute. At the end of this first appearance, the Pre-Trial Chamber will set the date of the next step in the pre-trial proceedings: the hearing on the confirmation of charges.



Mr Gbagbo, born on 31 May 1945, former President of Côte d’Ivoire, allegedly bears individual criminal responsibility, as an indirect co-perpetrator, for four counts of crimes against humanity, namely murder, rape and other sexual violence, persecution and other inhuman acts, allegedly committed in the context of post-electoral violence in the territory of Côte d’Ivoire between 16 December 2010 and 12 April 2011.



Mr Gbagbo was transferred to the ICCÂ’s custody on 30 November 2011, in accordance with a warrant of arrest issued by Pre-Trial Chamber III on 23 November 2011. Upon the completion of the transfer, the ICC Registrar, Ms Silvana Arbia, expressed her thanks to the authorities of the Host State, the Netherlands, and the Ivorian authorities for their full cooperation with the ICC, which allowed a successful and swift transfer of the suspect to the ICC detention centre.
