Wanted for War Crimes

E-mail Print PDF

The Aegis Trust is starting a new project, 'Wanted for War Crimes' part-funded by the European Union.

1. The primary objective is to create a network of NGOs, investigators, lawyers and other groups willing to share information and evidence about people suspected of war crimes, torture, crimes against humanity or genocide; helping to build prima-facie cases against a suspect so that national police and investigators can quickly obtain an arrest warrant or make an extradition request.

2. A secondary objective is to work with a wide coalition of groups and actors willing to pressure UN member states, the Security Council, the European Union and, through these institutions, other Governments, to arrest suspects for whom the international criminal court and tribunals have issued arrest warrants.
