The book was originally conceived while the editors were engaged, in different capacities, in proceedings relating to the detention of Senator Pinochet in London. The vigorous public debate that attended that case - and related  developments in international criminal justice, such as the creation of the International Criminal Court and the trial of former President Milosevic - demonstrate the close connections between the law and wider political or moral questions. In the field of international criminal justice there appeared, therefore, a clear need to distinguish legal from essentially political issues - promoting the application of the law in an impartial and apolitical manner - while at the same time enabling each to legitimately inform the development of the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays in this volume, written by internationally recognised  legal experts: scholars, practitioners, judges - explore a wide range of subjects, including immunities, justice in international and mixed courts, justice in national courts, and in a particularly practical section, perspectives offered by experienced practitioners in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a welcome collection of papers on criminal justice both at the international and the national level...a book which fills many gaps and adds considerable value by discussing wider policy and moral issues; it is to be recommended to all who are interested in the development of international criminal justice.\"\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Wilmshurst, International Affairs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“…serves as a good source of insight into the past and present development of international criminal justice in relation to crimes against humanity.” —\u003ci\u003eHuman Rights Law Review, Vol. 5, No. 1\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book is one of the most important contributions to the understanding of recent developments around issues relating to international as well as domestic criminal justice, from both a policy and a moral point of view.” —\u003ci\u003eCriminal Law Forum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is a welcome collection of papers on criminal justice both at the international and the national level.\u003cbr\u003ethis is a book which fills many gaps and adds considerable value by discussing wider policy and moral issues; it is to be recommended to all who are interested in the development of international criminal justice.” —\u003ci\u003eInternational Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781841134130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40717517488334,"sku":"9781841134130","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_d9793e37-9dbb-4a53-888d-2d2787cad80b.jpg?v=1641015069","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781841134130","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
