"The Annotated Digest of the International Criminal Court (2007)" is the second volume of an annual series. It compiles a selection of the most significant legal findings contained in the public decisions rendered by the International Criminal Court in 2007. 2007 is an important year in the life of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Starting with the confirmation of charges against the first arrested person (Lubanga), the period covers the initiation of five new cases (Ntaganda, Katanga, Ngudjolo, Harun, Kushayb).It is also the year of arrest of a second person (Katanga) in the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The sole number of decisions is enough to show a spectacular increase in the work of the Court over the year: the present volume reviews 234 decisions rendered, or made public, in 2007, that is to say roughly the same number of decisions as in the first volume, which covered years 2004-2006. Abstracts compiled in this Series have been selected on the basis to the following criteria.
