Opis

This book seeks to develop an international criminal procedural order that reconciles Continental and Anglo-American approaches. It compares German criminal procedure and English and U.S. procedure and traces their historical and philosophical development. The criminal process is covered from the first steps of the investigation up to the imprisonment of the convicted.

Recenzje

Review from previous edition Safferling lays the groundwork for a detailed comparative analysis of the major issues of procedure raised by the Rome Statute. The treatment of trial procedures especially benefits from his comparative analysis... The author analyses the role of the prosecutor with fascinating contrasts between the adversarial system and the inquisitorial approach of the Continent... With exhaustive research, the author... has made an important contribution through his analysis of the issues presented. Throughout the book, the reader can perceive his genuine commitment to international human rights law as well as to practical scholarship focused on problem-solving.
