The Evolution of International Criminal Procedure

This book examines the evolution of international criminal procedure from the 1945-1946 Nuremberg and Tokyo trials to the present period. It is largely based on a normative-jurisprudential approach to the procedural rules, comparing both norms and case-law of the relevant courts and tribunals.
