Elderly Khmer Rouge leaders Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan have been found fit to hear a judgment in the second trial against them, in which they stand accused of multiple crimes against humanity, including genocide.

Chea, the regime’s “Brother Number Two”, and Samphan, its head of state, have already been found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Statement: 31/03/2017

I am deeply concerned by the numerous reports over the past several months of serious acts of violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), particularly in the Kasaï provinces. There have been reports of violent clashes between local militia and Congolese forces, a large number of killings of both civilians and non-civilians, kidnappings and summary executions, including of United Nations experts on mission and their support staff. Such acts could constitute crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

From the @BPI-ICB CAPI we join Human Rights Watch another great campaign in favour of women and their rights.

In human rights news around the world today: 14,000 women in Saudi Arabia are challenging the country's arcane male guardianship laws; Human Rights Watch also launches new #FreeThem campaign to highlight the unjustly jailed.

14,000 Saudi women filed a petition asking Saudi Arabia's government to end its abusive male guardianship system. Under the system, women must get permission to travel abroad, and often need permission to work or study. The issue gained international traction after animated videos highlighting the plight of Saudi women went viral in July. It's time the Saudi government listened and ended this degrading practice.

Tel Aviv, Israel (CNN)Shimon Peres, the Israeli elder statesman who shared a Nobel Prize for forging a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians, has died. He served as a constant force for generations in Israeli politics.

The 93-year-old died after suffering a massive stroke two weeks ago. He was reported to be making progress but doctors said he took a turn for the worse Tuesday.

In top leadership roles over the decades -- including Prime Minister and President -- the Labor Party veteran became a face of the Jewish State, instantly recognized and well-respected in Israel and across the globe.

For the first time on our website, an article published by "The Global Legal Post" which shows us a very interesting project for all who are dedicated to criminal law.

This is a very useful tool especially for students and teachers of criminal law in order to gain experience and understand procedures thanks to new technologies.

Then we transcribe the complete article.

On 11 July 2016, Pre-Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court (ICC) decided that the Republics of Uganda and Djibouti had failed to comply with the request for arrest and surrender of Omar Al Bashir to the ICC and referred the matter to the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute and the United Nations Security Council. It is now up to them to take the measures they deem necessary regarding this matter.
