Procedural human rights violations in criminal cases are the basis of more human rights claims than any other type of violation
The rise in international and transnational criminal justice increases the risk of such violations occurring
Covers the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, the International Coimmittee of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court, and the International Criminal Tribunals
In addition to the case-law, the author examines scholarly writing in five languages

Interest in human rights has grown enormously over
the past fifty years. But while the media focus mainly
on dramatic issues such as unlawful killings, torture,
disappearances, or free speech violations, institutions
charged with the implementation of human rights
(as set out in international treaties) spend a great deal
of their time dealing with alleged violations that take
place during criminal proceedings.And in the future
such issues will become even more important as a
result of the increasing internationalization of the
administration of criminal justice.

In this book, the case-law of the most important
and influential international bodies dealing with
such issues is presented and critically examined by
an author who has spent almost a quarter of a
century contributing to its evolution. The European
Commission and the European Court of Human
Rights, in particular, have accumulated a
considerable quantity of case-law,which is of
particular interest because of its applicability in both
Anglo-Saxon and Continental systems of criminal
procedure. The law of the European Convention is
emphasized because of its advanced procedures and
the quality and quantity of its case-law, however the author also gives considerable coverage to the application of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the American Convention on Human Rights.

The book will be of interest to all scholars,
practitioners, and students of international criminal
law and human rights.

Readership: Practitioners, judges, academics and students dealing with criminal procedure as well as constitutional law; International criminal lawyers.
