International Criminal Procedure, edited by two insiders to
international criminal proceedings, Professor Linda Carter and
Professor Fausto Pocar, a judge at the ICTY and a former President
of this Tribunal, is a coherently organized, well-researched, very
informative and not the least elegantly-written contribution to a
young and rapidly developing legal sub-discipline. The book
provides its reader with a highly accessible and up-to date
introduction into key elements of international criminal procedure
as well as with critical commentary and rich inspiration for
improvements of current practices.' - Claus Kress LL.M. (Cantab.),
University of Cologne, Germany and Institute for International
Peace and Security Law'This book addresses compelling issues that
have come before international criminal tribunals. They include the
self-representation of accused persons, plea bargaining and victim
participation. It usefully approaches all of the issues and
problems from a comparative law perspective. This excellent and
accessible work is essential reading for practitioners, faculty and
students of international criminal law.' - Richard Goldstone,
Retired Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa and for
Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the
former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda The emergence of international
criminal courts, beginning with the International Criminal Tribunal
for the former Yugoslavia and including the International Criminal
Court, has also brought an evolving international criminal
procedure. In this book, the authors examine selected issues that
reflect a blending of, or choice between, civil law and common law
models of procedure. The topics include background on civil law and
common law legal systems; plea bargaining; witness proofing;
written and oral evidence; self-representation and the use of
assigned, standby, and amicus counsel; the role of victims; and the
right to appeal. International Criminal Procedure will appeal to
academics, students, researchers, lawyers and judges working in the
field of international criminal law. Contributors include: G.
