Abstract

Luc Reydams, Jan Wouters and Cedric Ryngaert (eds.), International Prosecutors , Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2012, £110, pp. 1032. Göran Sluiter, Hakan Friman, Suzannah Linton, Sergey Vasiliev and Salvatore Zappalá (eds.), International Criminal Procedure: Principles and Rules , Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013, £295, pp. 1728. The common thread underpinning all three books is their subject matter, namely international criminal procedure. The very fact that three voluminous books not only discuss criminal procedure from an international law perspective but moreover endeavour to assess to what degree it may have been transformed into a principled and distinct body of rules from its domestic counterparts is a significant development of its own right. No doubt, the criminal procedure of existing international criminal tribunals emerged from a process of synthesis and syncretism involving principles of domestic criminal procedure.
