Description
The first trial at the International Criminal Court was a landmark case that tested the limits of international law. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo's trial, which lasted six years, was marked by legal wrangling and a clash of personalities. This book provides an accessible account of the rapid evolution of international law and the controversial trial. Through eye-witness observation and analysis, Jim Freedman examines the critical moments of the trial, including the participation of victims at the trial and the impact of witness protection. The author shows that the trial suffered from problems associated with ordinary criminal law trials, highlighting the challenges faced by international courts in a contemporary global context. A Conviction in Question offers a unique insight into the legal issues behind Dyilo's trial, providing a thorough examination of this pivotal case at the foundation of the International Criminal Court.
