Redressing Miscarriages of Justice Practice and Procedure in National and International Criminal Law Cases

Professor Knoops' work functions not only as an essential textbook but also as a practical guide for practitioners on the procedural mechanisms available to them after they have exhausted all domestic available legal remedies for redressing miscarriages of justice. At the same time, it reveals the major causes for miscarriages of justice in criminal cases. Redressing Miscarriages of Justice analyzes techniques and practices before both national courts and international criminal tribunals, attempting to answer such questions as "when is a conviction safe or unsafe" and "when and how to assess and introduce fresh evidence to reopen a criminal case." While addressing, inter alia, disclosure obligations and contemporary forensic sciences in this area, this book develops a legal framework that is instrumental for practitioners dealing with review procedures before domestic courts (U.S., U.K., Canada, the Netherlands) and international criminal tribunals such as the ICTY, ICTR and ICC.Knoops, Geert-Jan Alexander is the author of 'Redressing Miscarriages of Justice Practice and Procedure in National and International Criminal Law Cases', published 2006 under ISBN 9781571053602 and ISBN 1571053603.
