This great work will sustain people around the world in their fight for justice. * Geoffrey Robertson AO, QC * An outstanding book ... One can't believe it hasn't been written at some earlier junction in the form it has been presented to us by the authors ... It will be so useful to all the national human rights commissions because in its comprehensiveness it gives commissions an idea of how a state could manipulate trials procedurally to deny a defendant the fairness that they deserve. And it creates the basis by which a vigilance can be exercised. * Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al Hussein, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights * The real genius of this book I think is that it breaks down the silos between human rights law, domestic criminal procedures, international criminal law and even international humanitarian law. Too often scholars and practitioners in these fields are working essentially in acoustic isolation, but this book brings together the key principles and precedents all in one place and this will enable better cross-fertilisation between these systems and really contribute to the development of a holistic corpus of law devoted to fair trial protections ... It is the definitive work now on fair trial rights. * Professor Beth van Schaack, Stanford University * I really wished I'd had this 10 years ago or 20 years ago in my career as defence counsel ... I'm sure that this book will be used for human rights cases for many years to come. * Rupert Skilbeck, Director of Redress * This is a must-read book for everyone in the field: judges, scholars, students, civil servants, NGOs and all over the world. The fundamental and basic requirement of an independent and impartial tribunal is becoming a serious concern in some states so this book is a precious resource. * Judge Francoise Tulkens, former Vice-President of the European Court of Human Rights * It is a tour de force ... This book is not only relevant to those of us that have the pleasure and the privilege of appearing before different international courts, it is just as relevant perhaps even more so if one is in a military tribunal in far-flung places. This book is a very important resource in the backpack of any lawyer, domestic or international. * Karim Khan QC * I wish this book had been there when I was prosecuting at the ICTY. * Judge Joanna Korner CMG QC * This is a book that is very accessible. It is a working book that can be used by practitioners, but which is also written in a way that it is a joy to read. * Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, Director of the International Bar Association's Human Rights Institute * A formidable reference tool ... I cannot imagine any national criminal court that will not benefit greatly from having at least one copy in the library ... It will be an invaluable tool for practitioners on all sides of any trial. It will also be essential for judges at all stages of proceedings and academics and students. * Judge Sir Howard Morrison KCMG CBE QC, British Judge at the International Criminal Court *
