Luis Moreno Ocampo was appointed by 78 nations as the founding Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in 2003. He received the unprecedented mandate to trigger the Court's intervention into sovereign states, making the decision to commence investigations and trials in seventeen different countries. Previously he was the deputy prosecutor in the "Junta trial" and intervened as a national prosecutor in other crucial cases related to Argentina's transition to democracy. He contributed to anticorruption efforts by the World Bank and NGOs like Transparency International. He was a visiting Professor at Stanford, Harvard, Hebrew, and Al Qud Universities, and a senior fellow at Yale and NYU.
