OTP (Office of the Prosecutor)
The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) is the branch within an international court, such as the International Criminal Court, responsible for investigating and prosecuting individuals accused of serious crimes like genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The OTP gathers evidence, builds cases, and steps forward with prosecutions to ensure justice is served for victims and to uphold international law. It operates independently yet collaborates with other legal bodies and experts worldwide to hold perpetrators accountable and maintain global legal standards.
