AGLC4 Rule 12.1.2: Rules

Rules of procedure and evidence of an international criminal tribunal or court are cited by the name of the body, the title of the rules, a document number where one is printed, the date of adoption and a pinpoint. For revised rules the date is the date the revision was adopted.

Format

Quoted from the Guide, page 177
Name of Tribunal or Court, Title of Rules, Doc No Document Number (adopted Full Date) Pinpoint.

A boxed element is filled in with the source's details; everything outside a box is written exactly as shown.

Formatting

  • Order: name of the tribunal or court, comma, italic title of the rules, comma, Doc No and the number, space, adoption date in round brackets, space, pinpoint, full stop.
  • The name of the tribunal or court is roman and written in full.
  • The title of the rules is italic.
  • The document number is introduced by Doc No, roman, with no full stop after No; the number is copied exactly under rule 9.2.10, keeping any full stops that belong to it (such as Rev.1).
  • Where the rules carry no document number, both the number and the comma before it are left out, so the italic title is followed directly by a space and the date brackets.
  • The date sits in round brackets after the word adopted, which is roman and lower case; the date is day, month in full, year.
  • No comma between the closing date bracket and the pinpoint.
  • Pinpoints follow rule 8.7 and are usually to rules or sub-rules, abbreviated r, rr or sub-r with no full stop.
