In his capacity as Lead Counsel, Mr Faal is responsible for guiding the investigations of the TRRC, assisting the Commissioners, and leading witnesses before the TRRC on behalf of the Commissioners. Mr. Essa M. Faal has extensive knowledge and experience in international criminal law and international human rights law. He started his legal career as a State Counsel at the Ministry of Justice in The Gambia in 1994. During this period he served as Counsel to the Commission of Inquiry into the Financial Activities of Public Corporations. At the end of 1997, he was appointed as First Secretary and later promoted to Counselor for Legal Affairs at the Gambia Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York to help the Gambia’s team at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). In January 2000, Mr. Faal was appointed by the United Nations as a Judicial Affairs Officer and deployed to the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor. In that capacity, he contributed significantly in the reorganization and re-establishment of the justice sector in East Timor. In 2002 Mr. Faal was promoted to the post of Acting Deputy General Prosecutor for Serious Crimes and later moved to the post of Chief of Prosecutions. In January 2005, Mr Faal joined the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) based in Rome where he, among other things, designed, supervised and directed the implementation of good governance and justice sector reform programmes for developing countries around the world. In January 2006, Mr. Faal was appointed by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to head the complex investigations into the Darfur situation in which 300,000 black Africans were allegedly killed. Mr Faal successfully led the investigations that culminated in the indictment of, and the issuance of warrants of arrest against, senior members of the Sudanese Government for the crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity at the time. Soon thereafter, Mr Faal was appointed to the position of Senior Trial Lawyer/Lead Prosecuting Counsel for the Darfur cases. Between March 2011 and September 2016, Mr Faal successfully served as Co- Lead Defence Counsel in the ICC cases of the Prosecutor vs. Francis Kirimi Muthaura (ex-Secretary General of Kenya, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta (President of Kenya), Mr. William Ruto (Deputy President of Kenya), and General Muhammed Hussein Ali (ex Chief of Police of Kenya). Currently, Mr Faal serves as Counsel for Charles Ghankay Taylor (former President of Liberia) before the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone and also Counsel for Saif Al Islam Gadafi at the ICC. He is also Counsel for victims in the Darfur cases and victims for extra judicial killings in the Philippines before the ICC. With such extensive experience in dealing with mass atrocity crimes in different capacities, and the extensive insight he has gained in handling victims of such crimes, Mr Faal’s appointment will significantly enrich the TRRC process in The Gambia.
Wonder shall never end, only in TRRC, you will see some of the witness lying while holding the holy Qur'an in their hand. May Allah SWT save our beloved Country Gambia. And All Gambians
Why would they even allow holding quran tp swear that is wrong you swear without holding Quran b4 you hold quran you need ablution stupid ppl special this liar
He’s denying everything because he knew people are watching but the whole truth is he’s 💯 present. No matter what the witness should have respect for counsel.
I'm sorry to say this, Mr Jatta is right about asking Mr Faal, "where was the Attorney General." This is why TRRC should be conducted by an independent entity. All departments were agreeing with whatever Jammeh said.
@@poorgovernor4507 i Could be your Father as the First indipendance 1965 mit me in school.so dont insult me.i Witness the colonial,First and Second Republic.
That's true all this people will not be lied against him he jatta and lamin fatty disme i don't why soldiers don't want to speak truth he is there he just wants to be lied look how he talks this is why nothing goes true in this 22 year's ☠🇬🇲
He said he fellow them to the bush so that he can talk to sanna not to kill them, i don't know why can't you talk to him before they left rather than following them to the bush huh? 🤔
This guy is showing no remorse. How can you participate in the killing of your fellow brothers and sit here and talk like you are narrating a drama? #Gambia
This man this man this man he did it deliberately in wicked manner as an army commander and then he denied everything has said, including clear evidences he still kept denying!!!
This Babucarr Jatta need to be sacked from the Amy and taken to court. Rude, lier and arrogant he is. An Amy commander commanding men to commit atrocity and he has the nerves, the impetus to sit in front of the entire world and lie in the light of all the evidence and get away with it. It can only happen in Gambia. If is another country he should be taken to the gallows.
Mr jatta don't give commissioner a deficultes just tell true is only true can set you free.you should smart enough.discipline that's what commissioner want
These head, i mean the military personnel they all have the same characteristics of behavior. No discipline neither sympathy for their brothers, just see how Jatta is behaving today, you can tell u what went back from 1994 was terrible 😔
