A Fair Trial at the International Criminal Court? Human Rights Standards and Legitimacy

This book approaches the question of whether or not the court procedure at the 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?
