Organisational Context

The Office of the Prosecutor (“OTP”) is an independent organ of the International Criminal Court (“ICC”). It is responsible for examining situations under the jurisdiction of the Court where genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes appear to have been committed, and carrying out investigations and prosecutions against the individuals who are allegedly most responsible for those crimes.



Associate Investigators will be integrated in an Unified Team, comprised of investigators, analysts and lawyers. Such teams are led by a representative of the Prosecutor and have the responsibility of investigating and prosecuting the crimes committed in the context of a situation under investigation. Within the Unified Teams, investigators are responsible for objectively and independently collecting evidence and performing other investigative activities to further the investigation and establish the truth, while ensuring proper witness and information management.



The OTP is committed to diversity and gender equality and conducts gender analysis in support of investigations.
