Welcome
The Justice Rapid
Response (JRR) is a multilateral stand-by facility to deploy rapidly criminal
justice and related professionals, trained for international investigations and
at the service of States and international institutions. It allows the
international community to provide much needed support for compliance with and
the effective enforcement of international criminal justice, thus helping to
make justice an integral and constructive part of conflict resolution and
post-conflict peace-building. At the request of a State or international
institution with jurisdiction, JRR experts can deploy quickly to identify,
collect and preserve especially the most perishable information about crimes
under international law and massive human rights violations, and reporting back
to the requesting authority would be in a position, if requested, to make
recommendations as to the most appropriate remedies under the circumstance.
In
2005, the Governments of Finland, Germany, Liechtenstein, Sweden, Switzerland
and the United Kingdom commissioned a
Feasibility
Study, which details many aspects of the JRR.
