ICCT Interlinkages Database

The Rule of Law Responses to Terrorism Programme at the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) has compiled a database of domestic cases in which terrorists have been tried for core international crimes. ICCT has collected domestic cases in which terrorists have been cumulatively tried for international crimes and terrorism. This means that the database does not include cases in which alleged terrorists were only prosecuted for core international crimes.
