The ITJP “Pick a Topic” section serves as a platform for disseminating scholarly content, including essays, articles, posts, and other academically credible research findings pertaining to core international crimes and human rights violations. We aim to establish a comprehensive and dependable information resource for victims, vulnerable groups, researchers, policymakers, and human rights advocates.
Our objectives encompass raising awareness about the nature and extent of core international crimes and human rights violations, fostering deeper comprehension, and catalyzing action towards their eradication. Furthermore, we aim to empower victims and advocates to pursue justice through national and international legal mechanisms.
In our commitment to ensuring the quality and relevance of the content published on our website, we have outlined the following guidelines and criteria for article acceptance:
