Introduction

The Case Law Database (“CLD”) is a gateway to the jurisprudence of the ICTR, ICTY, and IRMCT Appeals Chambers.

It provides direct access to extracts of key judgements and decisions rendered by the ICTR, ICTY, and IRMCT Appeals Chambers since their inception, as well as to full-text versions of the corresponding appeal judgements and decisions.

Users can conduct quick searches by notions, cases names, titles of filings, date (in year-month-day format), statutes, rules, and other instruments through the “Basic Search” page. In addition, refined searches in all fields of the database can be conducted through the “Advanced Search” feature.

Please note that the CLD does not include confidential decisions and restatements of established case law and does not necessarily contain all notable rulings by the Appeals Chambers of the ICTR, the ICTY, and the IRMCT. For exact numbering of footnotes, refer to full documents.

The CLD is a living tool and its content is being regularly updated. Please help us improve the service by using our feedback form.

Use the following filters to refine searches across the database:

Text search: Use this field to search the database by typing a word, part of a word, or a word combination. The search is not diacritics sensitive: users will get the relevant results no matter if they use diacritics or not.

Notion(s): Use this field to search the database by legal notion(s). Please note that a combination of notions can be selected by placing the cursor next to the first selected notion.

Case: Use this filter to search a particular case name.

Filing: Use this field to search judgements and decisions. If the Case field is selected, the system will only list filings related to the selected case.

Date range: Use these fields to limit the search to a specific time range.

Tribunal: Use this field to restrict search results to the ICTR, the ICTY or the MICT jurisprudence.

Thank you very much for your help.

Advanced search is temporarily unavailable while the Case Law Database moves to a new platform.

The Basic search covers the same records: type a notion, case name, filing title, date (year-month-day), statute, rule or instrument into its search field. You can also browse the Notions list.
