All the international courts and tribunals, as well as mixed courts or such national courts as the Iraqi Special Tribunal, are fully covered, both as regards their structure, functioning and proceedings and as far as their case law is concerned. As one of the leading experts in the field,the late Cassese draws on his academic expertise and practical experience - as the former president of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia - to provide a uniquely personal perspective that brings the subject to life. Online Resource Centre A wealth of bibliographical references as well as major legal documents relevant to the subject are made available on the book's accompanying website.
