The Officers of the External Relations and Cooperation Department of the International Criminal Court, Antonia Pereira de Souza and Romina Morello visited our General Directorate of Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DIGEJUR) on the morning of May 10th, in the framework of a business trip to the region.

They were received in audience by the Director General of Legal Affairs, Ambassador Mariana Durney, the Deputy Director, Álvaro Arévalo, the Head of the Department of Multilateral Public International Law, Carlos Crisóstomo and the attorney Paula Nuño.

The purpose of the visit was to review the mechanisms that can create better relations between States and the International Criminal Court, as well as exploring actions that promote their cooperation in judicial processes.
