On 13 February 2024, Eurojust published a factsheet explaining the ways in which the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC-OTP) may be involved in Joint Investigation Teams (JITs). The flyer explains the steps to be taken to formally include the Office and outlines the support offered by Eurojust and the JIT Secretariat during the different phases of the JIT.

The ICC-OTP is an independent organ of the ICC. It is responsible for examining situations under the jurisdiction of the ICC, i.e., genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes of aggression. Where these crimes appear to have been committed, the Office carries out investigations and prosecutions against the alleged perpetrators.
