A report made public on 11 March by the UN secretary-general recommends setting up a «dual mechanism for establishing crimes and responsibilities» in Burundi, with the creation of a truth commission and a special chamber within the national courts. The commission would be made up of two Burundi nationals and three international members to ensure its «objectivity, impartiality and credibility». Its temporal jurisdiction would probably run from independence in 1962 to the mid-1990s, or even the present day. The special chamber would also be a mixed affair, with a majority of international judges and an international prosecutor. It would hear crimes committed «at the minimum» between 1972 and 1993. The exact relationship between the commission, which will be a non-judicial body, and the special chamber is still unclear. However rapporteurs envisage that the prosecutor assigned to the special chamber would be able to «use findings from investigations carried out by the commission». This would be a major departure from the Sierra Leone experience, where the issue was a serious stumbling block.
