Toolkit on Justice Avenues for International Crimes
Civil society organizations (CSOs) and other interested parties play a vital role in assisting victims and survivors to seek justice and accountability for serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. International justice benefits from the critiques and
support by CSOs to make processes more accessible and more equitable.
This Toolkit is a result of training conducted by the Asia Justice Coalition (AJC) secretariat for CSO representatives across Asia. In this multi-week training, it was realised that such a one-stop guide on the functions and operations of international justice mechanisms would be useful. While it focuses on CSOs, this Toolkit is intended to be useful for anyone interested in international justice and accountability.
This toolkit is intended to assist interested parties to decide for themselves, and then to engage with, the most appropriate international justice mechanisms or avenue(s) available and relevant to their context. With its publication, the Coalition reaffirms the urgent need for victim-centered avenues for pursuing justice and accountability for international crimes.
The Toolkit provides a look at available avenues for CSO engagement within the international legal sphere. It includes easy-to-read overviews of United Nations Fact-Finding Missions (FFMs) and International Investigative Mechanisms, the International Criminal Court (ICC), the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and the use of Universal Jurisdiction (UJ).
