On 25-26 March 2020, the ACIL and the Department of Criminal Law, in close cooperation with partners from the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI), convened a high-profile online expert workshop entitled “Improving the Operations of the ICC Office of the Prosecutor: Reappraisal of Structures, Norms, and Practices”.

The March workshop brought together a group of thirty-five (inter)national criminal justice practitioners and experts with extensive experience in investigating and prosecuting international crimes and monitoring the respective proceedings. The experts were requested to critically appraise the work of the ICC OTP in the following areas: preliminary examinations, investigations, prosecutorial strategy, outreach and engagement, completion strategies, and the OTP’s structure, ethics, and culture.
