This book is the first integral analysis which deals with the position of the defence in the international criminal courts. It pays particular attention to the sui generis character of international criminal proceedings and explores the critical areas that amount to an effective defence, including a proper legal aid system, access to competent legal assistance, equality of arms between the defence and the prosecution, sound standards of professional conduct and an effective right to self-representation.
The book is highly recommended to those working in (international) criminal law, such as practitioners, academics, policymakers and all others interested in this new and still developing area of international law.
Dr Jarinde Temminck Tuinstra carried out her research project on defence counsel in international criminal law at the University of Amsterdam and as a visiting researcher at Yale University after which she started working as a criminal defence attorney.
