International Criminal Law Database & Commentary

The ICL Database & Commentary is edited by Mark Klamberg, Pd. D. Student, Stockholm University, Faculty of Law. At this website you may find case law from the International Criminal Court and a commentary to the Rome Statute. Please note that the work on the commentary is in progress. You may find a sample of the future commentary here. It is expected that all articles in the Rome Statute will be commented by 31 December 2007. Even after that date the commentary will be updated in order to include the latest case law. The commentary will also at a later stage include a full commentary to the rules of procedure and evidence.

At the moment the jurisprudence of the ICC is sorted on the Court's website according to source/trial stage and date. With this new tool you may find cases in three different ways.

• The case law is sorted according to source/trial stage and date
• The case law and commentary is sorted under the relevant provision
• The legal texts, the commentary and the case law are searchable

You will also find that the references between the legal texts are linked.
