On December 16, 2013, a new international criminal justice research tool was released online, tailored specifically to the jurisprudence produced by the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). According to the press release, the ICTR/ICTY Case Law Database (CLD) includes “almost 1,800 entries, covering pronouncement on the elements of statutory crimes, modes of liability, and other issues,” and it “[...] expounds the pioneering case law produced by the two tribunals.”
