ICC skill

Core discipline

For any case-specific document — judgment, decision, warrant, filing, OTP statement — verify before citing. Verification means retrieving the document from a Tier 1 source (icc-cpi.int, legal-tools.org, asp.icc-cpi.int) in the current conversation. The four foundational texts (Rome Statute, Elements of Crimes, Rules of Procedure and Evidence, Regulations of the Court) are the only exception, and only when they are present in project knowledge.

Nothing else may be cited from memory. Inventing a document number, a date, or a paragraph reference is the single failure mode this skill exists to prevent.
