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.

Review:
Review from previous edition ...Trechsel has succeeded in presenting detailed interpretations of the jurisprudence,which display an impressively knowledgeable and credible analysis of human rights in criminal proceedings... a very significant enrichment of the literature on criminal procedural law... (Karsten Gaede, HRRS)

...exceptionally comprehensive and insightful ... pursues the many subtle questions down to the last detail... the author proceeds by weighing up the questions carefully. One notices it at every turn: Trechsel is aware that the nature of his subject requires him, in the balancing of extreme positions, to walk something of a tightrope..He distinguishes himself on the one hand from human rights activists who would like human rights to take priority over everything else and on the other from the representatives of the member states (governments) and their institutions...He sets out his beliefs in reform and in the fundamental importance of the procedural rights of those involved in legal proceedings... Trechsel's work will soon be at the forefront of books to be consulted in questions concerning the ECHR.' (Nicolas Schmid, Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Strafecht (The Swiss Journal for Criminal Law))
About the Author:
