  • Attempts at trans-jurisdictional debate and agreement are often beset by mutual misunderstandings. And while English is the new lingua franca in international and comparative criminal law, there are many ambiguities and uncertainties with regard to foundational criminal law and justice concepts. Professionals and academics engaged in collaborative comparative criminal law projects often do not understand each other, using the same terms with different meanings or different terms meaning the same thing. However, there exists greater similarity among diverse systems of criminal law and justice than is commonly realised. This third volume of Core Concepts in Criminal Law and Criminal Justice explores the principles and concepts that underpin the different domestic systems and rules. It will focus on the Germanic and several principal Anglo-American jurisdictions, which are employed as examples of the wider common law-civil law divide.

  • Summary

    This title delves into the mechanisms and processes of international human rights litigation, focusing on the various judicial and quasi-judicial bodies that adjudicate human rights complaints. It examines the diversity of international complaints mechanisms, including regional human rights courts, such as the European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, as well as nonjudicial bodies such as the Human Rights Committee and other treaty bodies. The section discusses the conditions of admissibility for international complaints, the procedures for examining claims, and the standards of proof and evidence. It also explores the role of provisional measures in protecting human rights during litigation and the challenges in enforcing international human rights decisions. By providing insights into the litigation process, this title highlights the importance of access to justice and the role of international bodies in holding states accountable for human rights violations.
