Resources for Research

At Justice Beyond Borders: International Crimes and Accountability, our research is supported by an extensive and evolving set of tools, platforms, and partnerships designed to ensure academic excellence and practical relevance.

1. Academic Databases

We utilize globally recognized academic platforms for access to peer-reviewed scholarship and legal analysis:

  • HeinOnline, JSTOR, SSRN, and Cambridge Core
    These databases provide law reviews, working papers, scholarly articles, and historical legal documents essential for in-depth research in international law, transitional justice, and human rights.

2. International Court Archives and Case Databases

Our members conduct case law research using official archives and legal tools from international and regional courts:

  • ICC Legal Tools Database

  • ICTY/ICTR Case Law Databases

  • European Court of Human Rights (HUDOC)

  • Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR)
    These platforms offer insights into international criminal procedure, jurisprudence, and court practices.

3. NGO and Civil Society Reports

We draw on field reports and expert analyses from leading human rights organizations:

  • Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, International Crisis Group, Open Society Foundations, Redress
    These sources contribute valuable documentation, case studies, and policy recommendations for legal advocacy and reform.

4. Legal Databases (Qarark, Qistas)

  • These platforms provide access to the most recent amendments to national and regional legislation—particularly in the Middle East—and offer updated court decisions relevant to our focus on state responsibility and legal reform.

5. Regional and National Legal Portals

For comparative legal studies and jurisdiction-specific research, we utilize:

  • European e-Justice Portal

  • African Legal Information Institute (AfricanLII)

  • ASEAN Legal Information Portal

  • Middle East Legal Sources
    These tools support localized legal research and analysis across diverse jurisdictions.

6. Technology-Enhanced Research Tools

We integrate digital tools for open-source intelligence (OSINT), satellite imaging, and digital archiving to support atrocity documentation, evidence gathering, and case tracking in real time.

7. Training & Skill Development

Our group offers workshops and training programs on:

  • Research methodologies and academic writing

  • Legal case analysis and digital investigation tools

  • Policy development and advocacy strategies
    These programs support students, early-career researchers, and practitioners.

8. Interdisciplinary Research Support

Our commitment to a holistic approach is reinforced by access to research in intersecting disciplines, including:

  • Environmental law, transitional justice, gender and armed conflict, international humanitarian law, and sustainable development
    This ensures that our legal responses are context-sensitive and inclusive.


These resources empower Justice Beyond Borders to deliver high-impact, evidence-based research that informs legal practice, shapes international policy, and advances the global pursuit of justice.
