Free Legal Aid System Library
Databases and Professional Research
Start with the question, not the name of the database: the required norm, the full text of the decision, the formulated legal position, national practice or the context of the conflict.
| Resource | The best fit | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| ICC Legal Tools | Documents of the ICC and a large array of sources of the ICP | Identifier, editor, publisher |
| ICC Case Records | Official materials of a specific case of the ICC | Case and document number, publicity |
| IRMCT CLD | Concepts and legal positions of the ICTY/MTR | Complete paragraph and further practice |
| Eurojust | National practice regarding international crimes | Procedural status and full text |
| ICRC Casebook | Study cases and IHL | Does the extract convey the full context |
| Lexsitus | Educational Commentary on the Rome Statute | Go to primary sources |
| RULAC / WAR WATCH | Conflict classification and applicable law | Analytical, not judicial status of the conclusion |
