AGLC4 Rule 12.4: International Criminal Tribunals and Courts: Short Title and Subsequent References

A decision of an international criminal tribunal may need a short title that includes its phase or its trial or appeal status, so that it can be told apart from other decisions between the same parties (rule 2.1.14). Other chapter 12 material may take a short title under rule 1.4.4, and subsequent references follow rule 1.4.1. Ibid is used for all chapter 12 material.

Formatting

  • The short title is italic, inside curly single quotation marks, inside round brackets, at the end of the first citation.
  • A subsequent reference is the italic short title, a space, (n and the footnote number and a closing bracket, a space, the pinpoint and a full stop; the n is roman and lower case.
  • A decision's short title may carry its phase or a word such as Appeal to distinguish it from other decisions in the same case.
  • Ibid is roman with a capital I and is followed by the pinpoint where the pinpoint changes.
  • A sub-rule pinpoint is written with the sub-rule in round brackets and no space, as in r 3(F).
