Organisational Context

The Office of the Prosecutor investigates and prosecutes genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by nationals of a State Party or on the territory of a State Party on or after 1 July 2002, the date of entry into force of the Rome Statute. It has three functional divisions, corresponding to the three major activities of the Office. The Investigation Division is made up of a group of lawyers, investigators and analysts working together in teams for each specific investigation. The Prosecution Division, with trial and appeals lawyers, presents cases before the judges. The Jurisdiction, Complementarity and Cooperation Division (JCCD) includes analysts, international cooperation experts and lawyers who provide advice to the Prosecutor on issues of jurisdiction and admissibility, essential prerequisites for any investigations and prosecutions. Without its own police and other agencies to rely upon, the Office must build networks of international cooperation. JCCD is responsible for ensuring necessary agreements and arrangements are in place to secure full cooperation of states and international organizations and maintaining dialogue with the OTP’s stakeholders, including civil society. These operational areas are supported by the Legal Advisory Section and Public Information Unit and receive technical services from the Language Unit, the Information and Evidence Unit and the Knowledge Base Unit. Upon a decision by the Prosecutor to initiate an investigation, representatives from the three divisions above are brought together in a joint team. The composition and size of the team depends on the needs and the stage of the investigation. On confirmation of charges the joint team is replaced by a trial team.

The Data Processing Unit (DPU), located within the Investigation Division of the Office of the Prosecutor, is responsible for processing the evidence collected during the course of the Office’s investigations and guaranteeing the quality of the descriptive metadata in the electronic evidence management system in support of analysis and legal review.
