How can defendants be tried if they cannot understand the charges
being raised against them? Can a witness testify if the judges and
attorneys cannot understand what the witness is saying? Can a judge
decide whether to convict or acquit if she or he cannot read the
documentary evidence? The very viability of international criminal
prosecution and adjudication hinges on the massive amounts of
translation and interpreting that are required in order to run
these lengthy, complex trials, and the procedures for handling the
demands facing language services. This book explores the dynamic
courtroom interactions in the International Criminal Tribunal for
the Former Yugoslavia in which witnesses testify through an
interpreter about translations, attorneys argue through an
interpreter about translations and the interpreting, and judges
adjudicate on the interpreted testimony and translated evidence.
