Justice Rapid Response

Created through an intergovernmental forum, Justice Rapid Response (JRR) is a mechanism that manages the rapid deployment of active duty criminal justice and related professionals from a stand-by roster. These deployments can be requested by the international community to investigate, analyse and report on situations where serious human rights and international criminal violations have been reported.

Operational since October 2009, JRR’s training program, developed and carried out in collaboration with the Institute for International Criminal Investigations (IICI), certifies experts to the JRR roster in order to make them available to the international community.

The JRR roster is geographically and linguistically diverse, and contains a wide range of expertise, such as criminal investigations, prosecutions, various areas of forensic sciences, military expertise and sexual and gender based violence investigations.
