When Interpol Comes Calling…™

International criminal law is a relatively new and developing branch of public international law. Today, it is comprised of a body of laws that includes statutes, customary international law, and, to a lesser extent, case law. An international criminal indictment might follow a criminal investigation involving Interpol, Europol, the FBI, regional police, or other criminal intelligence agencies.

The purpose of this site is to provide information that can help you understand your legal exposure, whether you have been the target of an Interpol investigation or charged by a criminal indictment. You will also find statutory provisions specific to different international criminal tribunals, how courts have interpreted the statutes, what the Office of the Prosecutor must prove in order to convict, and what you need to know about defending yourself against an international criminal indictment.
