In modern societies, full criminal trials are avoided on many
occasions. This book is concerned with mechanisms that either
divert from or speed up the proceedings. Koen Vriend argues that
the fair trial rights as established by the European Court of Human
Rights under Article 6 ECHR provide a normative framework that does
not only apply in a full criminal trial, but that it can also be
used for diverted and shortened proceedings. He shows that the
concept of fairness-as derived from ECtHR case law-is a fundamental
principle that underlies all criminal law enforcement. It provides
for the appropriate framework to assess whether diverted or
shortened proceedings are fair and legitimate. The book is intended
for criminal law scholars and practitioners and human rights
scholars. Dr. Koen Vriend is a Lecturer of Criminal Law and
Criminal Procedural Law at the University of Amsterdam.
