Luis Moreno Ocampo was the first Chief Prosecutor of the permanent International Criminal Court, based at The Hague (June 2003- June 2012). His office was involved in twenty of the most serious crises of the 21st century including Iraq, Korea, Afghanistan, and Palestine. He conducted investigations in seven different countries including Libya and Sudan.

In October 2012, the World Bank appointed Mr. Moreno-Ocampo to lead an expert panel to examine an alleged corruption conspiracy related to a $3 billion project in Bangladesh.

Previously, Mr. Moreno-Ocampo played a crucial role during the transition to democracy in Argentina. In 1985, he was the deputy Prosecutor in the Junta trial in Argentina and later he led investigations against guerrilla leaders and Army officers involved in two military rebellions and dozens of cases of corruption involving high level public officers.
