International Crisis Group is a  private, multinational organisation committed to strengthening the capacity of the international community to anticipate, understand and act to prevent and contain conflict.

ICG’s approach is grounded in field research. Teams of political analysts, based on the ground in countries at risk of conflict, gather information from a wide range of sources, assess local conditions and produce regular analytical reports containing practical recommendations targeted at key international decision-takers.

Crimes of War

The Crimes of War Project is a collaboration of journalists, lawyers, and scholars that seeks to raise awareness of the laws of war and of the human consequences when armed conflict becomes entrenched. The goal of the Project is to translate the often dry, dense and arcane language of international humanitarian law so that it will have meaning and immediacy for news editors, reporters, policy makers, students and the general public. This knowledge, we believe, will help combat a sense of impunity by those in power and eventually reduce the incidence of war crimes.

The Crimes of War Project was established in 1999 to educate the general public and concerned professionals about international humanitarian law (IHL) with specific emphasis on the Geneva Conventions.

The Crimes of War Web Magazine is posted every two months. Each issue consists of several articles organized around an overarching theme, such as a current or past conflict, or a groundbreaking development in international humanitarian law. There is an overview, or "case study," as well as legal analysis by journalists or scholars on related subjects. Photography, video, art, and testimony provide yet another layer of detail, texture, and nuance

The project's first and central product was a 400-page book, The Crimes of War: What the Public Should Know, published by W.W. Norton in the Spring of 1999. The book, w is literally designed as an A to Z guide to war crimes, and formatted as both a reference book for individuals in the field and as a visual and vivid source book for a wide variety of audiences, including the general reader. Crimes of War contains 140 original articles by some 90 journalists, jurists and scholars, as well as photographs which graphically underscore the authors' words.
