 | Alto Tribunal Iraquí |
| Tribunals of this type, which are established after the collapse of a certain regime and to trial the figures and the important leaders of such regime, is a part of the transitional justice and organizations. Usually they are temporary and they are over when their assigned mission in the trials is over. Beside those tribunals, there are committees of fact finding and compensations. In addition, in Iraq there is the commission of debaathification. In this comprehensive view, our main interest would be the IHT as a part of the process of transitional justice in Iraq after April 2003.

| Corte Penal Internacional |
| The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an independent, permanent court that tries persons accused of the most serious crimes of international concern, namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The ICC is based on a treaty, joined by 104 countries.
The ICC is a court of last resort. It will not act if a case is investigated or prosecuted by a national judicial system unless the national proceedings are not genuine, for example if formal proceedings were undertaken solely to shield a person from criminal responsibility. In addition, the ICC only tries those accused of the gravest crimes.
In all of its activities, the ICC observes the highest standards of fairness and due process. The jurisdiction and functioning of the ICC are governed by the Rome Statute.
