Searching International Criminal Law Case Law

I’m currently wrestling with the case law databases of the ICTY and ICTR and think there must be an easier way to find what I’m looking for. The best I’ve got so far is to do a site search via Google. If you know of a better way, please let me know!

In the meantime, I’ve made a Google Custom Search Engine that (hypothetically) is limited to the case law websites of the ICTY, ICTY and ICC – without having to remember all the Google search syntax.

Take a look:

It’s a first attempt so my syntax may be a bit off, but I think it does the job to an ok standard.

Future potential includes adding more ICL databases, allowing ‘refinement’ to only certain Tribunals, etc.

If you have any suggestions let me know, or join as a ‘volunteer’ and add them directly.

  • Just saw an ad for Verizon FiOS, featured a DVR that could play to 6 rooms at once. American families have six TVs now???
  • Domain HomeAlert: 1 bed, 1 bath, good, William St, nice location, $70/week, sounds great sign me up. Oh, it's a carpark not a 'home'...#fail
  • Worse thing from Thiessen seems to be if you don't agree with him that means your siding with the enemy.
  • Plus Thiessen says advocating for the release of detainees who aren't being charged is a "radical/extremist view".
  • Thiessen says if you use your pro bono time to defend accused people you support their views. This can't be serious.
