The Universal Jurisdiction Annual Review 2025 examines criminal investigations into international crimes—such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, torture, and enforced disappearances—brought under extraterritorial jurisdiction. Focusing primarily on cases initiated under universal jurisdiction, it also covers those based on active and passive personality principles. The report highlights new investigations opened or made public in 2024, excluding cases dismissed or not pursued by judicial authorities. Published by TRIAL International in collaboration with the Center for Justice and Accountability, Civitas Maxima, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, the International Federation for Human Rights and REDRESS.
