The research project ‘Towards Codification of General Rules and Principles of International Criminal Procedure’ is an ambitious venture which aims to elaborate a set of general rules on and principles of international criminal procedure with a further perspective of crystallizing them into a Model Code of International Criminal Procedure. The project is a joint initiative by the Amsterdam Center for International Law of the University of Amsterdam (ACIL) and the Hague Institute for the Internationalisation of Law (HiiL) - two top research institutes which focus on the study of the internationalisation of law. ACIL is a leading partner in carrying out scientific activities. The project is primarily funded by HiiL under the umbrella of the HiiL Academy. A financial contribution is also provided by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).
