Projects

The Academy’s research addresses themes that are either under-researched or deserve particular or renewed attention. For our applied and interdisciplinary research, the Academy has nurtured strong relationships with renowned academics and universities in all continents. Engaging with experts across multiple disciplines, especially in law, the social sciences and humanities, and organising expert seminars strengthens our research endeavours. The Academy researches a broad spectrum of topics: Some projects concentrate on issues such as the use of digital evidence in the prosecution of international crimes and the ethical aspects of private investigations in international criminal justice. Another project addresses hate speech in the context of international criminal law. Other projects identify the need for benchmarks for measuring international criminal justice and explore the deterrent effect of international criminal tribunals. Yet another project addresses the length of proceedings before the International Criminal Court.
