About The Peace and Justice Initiative

The Peace and Justice Initiative is a non-profit network of international criminal law professionals with experience in investigating and conducting trials on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes before the various international and mixed courts and tribunals. Our aim is to assist the national implementation of the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), so that domestic jurisdictions can hold fair trials on these core crimes. Our professionals include prosecutors, defence counsel, judicial officers, investigators, military experts and analysts with extensive experience in the international and mixed courts and tribunals, including the International Criminal Court, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. We are independent. We aim to transfer to national jurisdictions our collective knowledge and experience at the international level in prosecuting, defending, adjudicating on, or investigating war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity. Towards achieving our ultimate aim of universal effective implementation of the ICC Statute we offer: - Advice and legislative drafting assistance on implementing legislation for the ICC Statute, - Expert round-tables for legislators to address sensitive issues with regard to implementation, such as immunity and jurisdiction, - Training courses for judges, prosecutors, defence and investigators with a practical focus.
