The Integrated Services Division (ISD) within the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) centralizes the specialized support functions that provide cross-cutting support to the Office. The Division is headed by a Director who is responsible for managing the reliable and cost-effective delivery of integrated services and ensuring that the OTP is adequately supported through all relevant service functions, technologies and equipment, and that appropriate services are available to allow the implementation of the Office’s mandate. The services include planning and operations, witness protection and management, information knowledge and evidence management, forensic science, language and administrative support. The Division works to develop new approaches and strategies that promote the use of modern tools and advanced technology as mechanisms to strengthen the effectiveness of the Office.

Specialized units within the ISD support the integrated teams in the elaboration and implementation of their plans and through advice and assistance in the conduct of operations. The Planning and Operations Section assists the teams with assessing, supporting and managing vulnerable witnesses, including through the provision of psychosocial evaluations, support and, where necessary, referral to the Victims and Witnesses Section of the Registry for long-term interventions.
