Building capacity in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia: Development of ICL Training Materials

In July 2011, ICLS finalised training materials in the context of the project: Supporting the Transfer of Knowledge and Materials of War Crimes Cases from the ICTY to National Jurisdictions (“the War Crimes Justice Project”), related to the legacy of the UN International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, funded by the European Union and implemented by OSCE ODIHR, ICTY and UNICRI. The training materials consist of a comprehensive, practice-oriented training curriculum on international criminal and humanitarian law and practice, particularly relating to genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. It is tailored to the legal frameworks of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia and will be used primarily by national legal training centres and other legal training providers in capacity-building activities for legal practitioners in the three states.
