This major new text is a high-level practice guide for international criminal practitioners. Covering the crimes, defences, procedures, rules of evidence, and jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda and the permanent International Criminal Court, it is the first work of this kind. The recently established United Nations' Courts for East Timor and Sierra Leone are also referenced.
* A comprehensive "nuts and bolts" manual on the procedure of the International Criminal Court and the Tribunals
* The first work to show practitioners how to prepare cases and directly participate in these trial proceedings
* Both authors have practised before the Tribunals since their inception and are uniquely placed to prepare a rigorous guide to the procedures
