International Prosecutors

The prosecution plays a crucial part in any international war crimes trial, but its role is rarely analyzed. This book will assess the work of the prosecutor in a dozen international criminal courts and tribunals, setting out the applicable rules and analyzing his or her independence, accountability, and political impact.
