Reviews

Human Rights in International Criminal Proceedings is a remarkable enquiry into the progressive consolidation of due process rights before international courts and tribunals. The author's analysis is at the same time wide-ranging and detailed. Contemporary issues are systematically put in historical perspective through a series of vivid sketches of the law and practice of the postwar international military tribunals. Leiden Journal of International Law The bulk of the book - note, however, that the author's concise style prevented the book from being bulky - is devoted to a fairly in-depth analysis of the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and for the Rwanda (ICTR). Each chapter or section ends with comments on the relevant parts of the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Leiden Journal of International Law Zappala's monograph is above all an intelligently conceived, evenly structured book. It invites the reader to join the author on a smooth journey through the various stages of international criminal proceedings, contains valuable insights on the dynamics of the international criminal justice systems, and is not unforthcoming with practical suggestions for improvement...I am suggesting the reading of Zappala's book to all those who are interested in international law and have not yet read it.. Leiden Journal of International Law

`'the interests of the accused and the rights of defence are a primary concern ... in the jurisprudence of the ad hoc Tribunals brilliantly analysed ... by Salvatore Zappala' ' Prof. G. Abi-Saab, Journal of International Criminal Justice 2003 at 596.
