I had the opportunity to work on a Promise Institute Europe Pro Bono Project. We were tasked with summarizing submissions gathered following the ICC Office of the Prosecutor's call for consultations on a new policy initiative to advance accountability for environmental crimes under the Rome Statute. We worked with ICC Special Advisor Kevin Jon Heller and Appeals Counsel Reinhold Gallmetzer who drafted and edited the OTP’s policy paper to ensure that the summation of the comments fit with the overall mission.
