The ICC Legal Tools Project launches new search engine

The International Criminal Court (ICC) Legal Tools Project has launched a new search engine. The new search technology makes it easier for users to find relevant information among the 44,000 documents contained in the Legal Tools Database. All but 300 of these documents are now full-text searchable and have search-data registered. It is the most comprehensive database of its kind and is freely available on a public platform.

The ICC Legal Tools provide access to legal information on the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes and aspires to equip users, in a practical and cost-effective manner, with legal information, digests and software required to work effectively with international criminal law. It seeks to serve as a complete virtual library on international criminal law and justice.

The text in these tools - or the organisation of legal information in the collections and databases - does not necessarily represent the views of the ICC, any of its organs or any participants in proceedings before the ICC.
