ICC Monitoring and Outreach Programme
Introduction
In October 2005, the IBA started a new ICC Monitoring and Outreach Programme funded by the John D and Catherine T MacArthur Foundation.
The Programme is split into two components:

|
Monitoring
The IBA has a full time representative in The Hague who monitors and reports on the work and the proceedings of the ICC, focusing in particular on issues affecting the fair trial rights of the accused, the implementation of the 1998 Rome Statute, the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, and related ICC documents, in the context of relevant international standards. Input is received from legal experts and other interested parties in assessing the work and proceedings of the Court. Reports on monitoring will be available on the website.

Outreach
The outreach component to the programme aims to deepen understanding of the place of the ICC both within the broader landscape of international justice and within particular contexts. The IBA has a lawyer, also based in The Hague, who works in partnership with bar associations, lawyers and civil society organisations in key countries; works with bar associations on the role of lawyers in advancing ratification and implementation of the Rome Statute; and holds sessions on the ICC at regional and international IBA conferences.
The IBA issued reports on its outreach programme in June 2006 and May 2007. The press releases and reports can be downloaded from the website.
