Description

This book examines the rights of accused persons in criminal proceedings. The case-law of the international bodies dealing with this issue is presented and critically examined by an author who has contributed to its creation for almost a quarter of a century.

First Sentence

This book deals with, as its title promises, human rights in criminal proceedings, that is to say, the various ways in which the regional and universal laws of fundamental rights and freedoms restrict the power of Contracting States, by requiring them to establish the prerequisites for the application of retributive sanctions against persons suspected of having acted against the law.
