Author: John R. Jones, Steven Powles

This volume continues the standard work The Practice of the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda by John R.W.D. Jones. It expands its former coverage of international criminal practice. There are currently four international criminal courts: the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (the ...  more »"ICTY"), the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (the "ICTR"), the International Criminal Court (the "ICC") and the Special Court for Sierra Leone (albeit that it is a mixed international-domestic court) (the "SCSL"). Their predecessors, the International Military Tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo, for all the criticism that they were "victors’ tribunals", were nonetheless international (the London Agreement on War Criminals, 1945, establishing the Nuremberg Tribunal, was signed by 5 states and acceded to by 19 others), and are therefore included in this study of international criminal courts and tribunals. The ICTY and ICTR have both held extensive trials and appeals, while the ICC and SCSL are not in operation at the time of publication. Accordingly, the approach adopted here is to examine the law and practice of the ICTY and ICTR in parallel, with a comparison being made to the ICC and SCSL, where appropriate, at the end of each section. Unlike the first two editions of this work, this edition is presented thematically, rather than as an article-by-article, rule-by-rule commentary. Given the emerging corpus of international criminal law generated by the Statutes, Rules of Procedure and Evidence and jurisprudence of the ICTY, ICTR, ICC and the courts in East Timor, Sierra Leone and Kosovo, among others, a subject-matter approach appears more logical and, indeed, user-friendly. Where, however, readers seek exegesis of a specific article, they have only to make reference to the article-by-article, rule-by-rule index to find the appropriate page(s). This is in addition to an extensive subject-matter index. This edition is current in its coverage to April 2003 and thus includes the latest Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the Special Court for Sierra Leone.  « less
