The “Commentary on the Law of the International Criminal Court (CLICC)” is available online free of cost for the user and as a printed book, order here.
Description
The establishment of international criminal jurisdictions such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) presents new challenges for legal practitioners as well as scholars in their legal research. High-quality legal commentaries can be of great assistance for both practitioners and scholars.
The Commentary on the Law of the International Criminal Court (CLICC) is the only commentary in the field of international criminal law that is freely available online. Commentaries
that are only available in print have some limitations: they are costly to acquire, quickly outdated by evolving case law and other legal developments, and have limited functionality.
CLICC seeks to assist users who are negatively affected by such constraints. As an online commentary, available free-of-charge for all users, it is continuously updated, and has functionality that is
not possible in print. CLICC is part of the CMN Knowledge Hub of the Centre for International Law Research and Policy. CLICC is hyperlinked to the ICC Legal Tools, which provide free online
access to most legal documents that may be relevant to cases involving core international crimes. CLICC is also published as a printed book.
