<div><div>This book provides an in-depth examination of the judicial response at the international</div><div>criminal tribunals (ICTs) to the violation of procedural standards in the</div><div>pre-trial phase of proceedings. It does so against the backdrop of the assumption that</div><div>certain particularities of international criminal proceedings may warrant a different</div><div>approach to the matter than at the national level.</div><div><br/></div><div>By reference to relevant human rights standards and to national criminal procedure,</div><div>as well as to theoretical accounts of the judicial response to pre-trial procedural violations,</div><div>this book assesses the ICTs’ law and practice in this regard, thereby identifying</div><div>points of concern and making suggestions for improvement. In doing so, it considers</div><div>the most suitable rationale for responding to procedural violations committed in the</div><div>pre-trial phase of international criminal proceedings and the merits of judicial discretion</div><div>in this context, as well as the impact of certain particularities of such proceedings</div><div>on the determination of how to address procedural violations.</div><div><br/></div><div>The book is intended for academics and practitioners in the field of (international)</div><div>criminal law who want to gain a deeper understanding of the possible impact of</div><div>pre- trial procedural violations on criminal proceedings.</div><div><br/></div><div><b>Kelly Pitcher</b> is Assistant Professor of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure at Leiden</div><div>University in The Netherlands.</div></div>
