AGLC4 Rule 12.3: Reports of Cases

A judgment of an international criminal tribunal that appears in a law report is cited like a reported case: italic parties' names and phase, then the year, volume and report series, the starting page and a pinpoint. The tribunal and chamber may be added at the end in parentheses, after any pinpoint or judges' names.

Format

Quoted from the Guide, page 182
Parties’ Names (Phase) Year, Volume and Report Series Starting Page, Pinpoint.
(Conventional Shortened Name of Tribunal or Court, Chamber)

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

Formatting

  • Parties' names and phase are italic, and the round brackets around the phase are italic.
  • Year, volume and report series follow rules 2.2.1 to 2.2.4; for series organised by volume, such as ILR and ILM, the year is in round brackets.
  • Volume, report series abbreviation and starting page are roman and separated by single spaces.
  • A comma separates the starting page from the pinpoint; a page pinpoint may be followed by a paragraph pinpoint in square brackets.
  • Pinpoints follow rule 10.2.7 and judges' names rule 12.2.8.
  • The optional tribunal and chamber tail is roman, in round brackets, with a comma between the tribunal and the chamber, and comes one space after the pinpoint or judges' names.
  • The tribunal name and chamber in that tail follow rules 12.2.3 to 12.2.4 (conventional short name, chamber type and Roman numeral).
