He was the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda from 2003 to 2015, and Prosecutor of the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals from 2012 to 2016. He served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General from 1984 to 1994 under President Dawda Jawara.
context_section_description: In 2002, he was appointed as a judge of the Appeals Chamber of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and served until 2003. In 2003, Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, nominated Jallow as the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). He was confirmed in this role by the United Nations Security Council, succeeding Carla Del Ponte on 15 September 2003. Jallow became the first ICTR Prosecutor to not also be the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. His mandate was renewed by the UN Security Council in 2007 and 2011.
  On 1 March 2012, Jallow was also appointed as the Prosecutor of the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT), to serve for a four-year term. He was a member of the Independent Review Panel on UN Response to Allegations of Sexual Abuse by Foreign Military Forces in the Central African Republic, alongside Marie Deschamps and Yasmin Sooka. Upon the conclusion of his term, he was praised by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as "instrumental to the successful fulfilment of the mandate of the [ICTR] and the efficient conduct of the work of the Office of the Prosecutor". In 2015, Charles Chernor Jalloh of Florida International University and Alhagi Marong of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda praised Jallow's service in a research paper.
