The Enid H. Adler International Criminal Court Collection
In June 1998, attorney Enid H. Adler, together with representatives of more than 160 countries and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), participated in the Rome Treaty Conference, which created the first independent (ICC) under the Rome Statute.
Ms. Adler collected and preserved a unique documentary record of the process, development, and growth of the ICC from its creation in Rome until today. She has generously donated these materials to the 裡橖眻畦 Law Library, so that we may preserve and make available her personal, extensive, and unique collection of historical materials chronicling the Court's inception and implementation.
