International Crimes Team at the Dutch Public Prosecutor’s Office comprises from public prosecutors.

The team investigates genocides and other large-scale crimes in far-flung places such as Liberia, Bosnia and Iraq as well as Rwanda and Sri Lanka.“They’re situations that get to you,” Van Bruggen admits.

An anthropologist helps the team understand the cultural context of the countries where it investigates cases. You need to prepare each case from scratch, Van Bruggen says in her Rotterdam office.“Working in Afghanistan is completely different from working in Rwanda or Sri Lanka. And the preliminary investigation into large-scale human rights violations presents many pitfalls: language, culture, security, dealing with witnesses, etc.”

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Pisces

Relationships are kind of shaky under this Lunar Cycle and you may even get the distinct impression you're heading for a major showdown with a certain someone. Although this feels like a crisis, don't let panic or desperation push you into decisions you would normally steer clear of. You may think you've reached the end of the road, but this isn't a good reason to go off the deep end and make drastic decisions. Proceed with caution!
