Details

This examination of the role of the defence in international criminal proceedings highlights it's contribution to the development of international criminal law and the fair administration of international criminal justice. Written by leading international practitioners and scholars, it combines the practice and theory of international criminal law in order to provide a first-hand perspective on the challenges involved in the good administration of international criminal justice.

The authors examine, among other issues, the role of the defence during the different stages of international criminal proceedings, the key aspects of defence work which ensure the right of the accused to a fair trial, professional ethics, the United Nations Residual Mechanism for International Tribunals, and post-conviction remedies and issues relating to those serving prison sentences.
