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.

Pursuant to the
first
meeting of the JRR Coordinating Group (Eng/Fr), an information kit consisting of the
basic background documents will be prepared in a number of languages, initially
in English, Spanish, French and Arabic. The "Frequently Asked Questions"
document (Eng/Fr) was adopted by the
Coordinating Group on 30 April 2008, and is constantly updated. These and
other documents are posted on
this website as and when they become available.
This website is designed to provide
information on the Justice Rapid Response mechanism and allow participants in
the mechanism to share documents and comments. In order to
facilitate cooperation of partners in the JRR mechanism, Non c’è pace senza giustizia “No Peace Without
Justice” is acting as the Interim JRR Secretariat until modalities for coordination are further developed among the JRR
participants or an international organization may be in a position to take over
the coordination and implementation of the JRR mechanism.
Please do not hesitate
to contact us if we can be of any assistance or provide you with further
information concerning the Justice Rapid Response mechanism.
