IBA ICC Programme Publications

The IBA ICC Programme produces regular reports on the International Criminal Court (ICC), commenting on current proceedings and developments at the Court with detailed recommendations. The programme also periodically issues thematic position papers on key matters of relevance to the Court. In addition, the programme publishes an interesting and informative e-magazine, the Equality of Arms Review (EQ) for lawyers on issues at the ICC, designed to spark discussion and encourage the global legal community to engage with the Court.
