descriPtion of the employer The International Research and Documentation Center War Crimes Trials has been at the Philipps-Universit채t Marburg since July 2003.

Many more trials were conducted by other national jurisdictions worldwide. The work of the ICWC is currently divided up into 4 projects (Transitional Justice, WWII, Legal Tools, and Trial-Monitoring). These in turn contain several sub-projects, supervised by various members of staff.
