Treatise on International Criminal Law: Volume III: International Criminal Procedure - Hardcover

Since the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in 1998, international criminal law has rapidly grown in importance. This fully updated new edition of the third volume of a Treatise on International Criminal Law offers a comprehensive analysis of the procedures and implementation of international law by international criminal tribunals and the International Criminal Court.

Through analysis of the framework of international criminal procedure, this volume considers each stage in the process of proceedings before the ICC, including the role of legal participants, the scope of jurisdiction, and the enforcement of sentences. This new edition has been expanded to include updated case law and relevant scholarly literature. Among others, it contains new (sub)sections on non-judicial investigative mechanisms, special forms of digital evidence, the 'submission approach' to material and information, trial management, and political elements within the 'interests of justice'.

The full three-volume treatise addresses the entirety of international criminal law, re-stating and re-examining the fundamental principles upon which it rests, the manner it is enacted, and the key issues that are shaping its future. It is essential reading for practitioners, scholars, and students of international criminal law alike.
