ICC Legal Tools Project
This project contributes to the development and completion of the ICC-initiated “Legal Tools database”. This database will provide a full collection of case law, legislation and other publications relevant to the prosecution of international crimes by national and international courts. The ICC Legal Tools is freely available online.
HiiL works (jointly with T.M.C. Asser Institute) on the development of two Legal Tools:
- National jurisdictions (an overview of national legal systems which contains information helpful for conducting comparative research on criminal law and procedure and on the legal status of core international crimes in these systems);
- National cases (most relevant decisions issued by domestic courts and tribunals concerning genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, both in civil and criminal matters).
