Legal Interns will be assigned to work with either a Unified Team, The Appeals and Legal Coordination Section (“APLCS”), or the Gender and Children Unit (“GCU”). A Unified Team is a multidisciplinary unit, comprising investigators, analysts, lawyers, an international cooperation adviser, an information management assistant, a case manager, trial support assistants, and other specialists as required. The Unified Team operates under the direct supervision of its respective Deputy Prosecutor, and the Prosecutor's leadership.
Each Unified Team is working on a specific case or situation and is responsible for conducting high quality, effective and efficient investigations leading to successful prosecutions. The APLCS and the GCU have a more overarching role; both support the Unified Teams and the Office of the Prosecutor more generally. The APLCS provides legal and strategic support as well as litigates before the Appeals Chamber. Whereas the GCU provides legal, investigative and strategic advice during all phases, specifically on sexual and gender-based crimes and crimes against or affecting children.
