Contents:
The European Court of Human Rights -- The UN Human Rights Committee, the Inter-American Court of HR and the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights -- Fair trial guarantees at the two UN ad hoc tribunals -- The International Criminal Court -- Parameters of procedure -- The court procedure at the ECCC.
Summary: This book approaches the question of whether or not the court procedure at the International Criminal Court (ICC) can be regarded as fair from two angles: First, does the ICC provide a fair trial according to the accepted standards of international human rights law? Secondly, is it substantively fair so as to establish the legitimacy of the court on a sound footing? Practitioners and academics are increasingly conscious of the need for an approach to evidence which spans civil law and common law traditions, national and international law. This is what this monograph does, in meticulous detail, for the law of confrontation and disclosure. --
