Fairness and Evidence in War Crimes Trials

Introduction

To mark the commencement of the first international criminal trials taking place at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, this special issue is devoted to the question whether a person facing charges for war crimes or crimes against humanity can receive a fair trial on the evidence. The Editors of ICE asked a number of experts in the field of international criminal law and evidence, including judges, practitioners, and academics, to submit short pieces on this topic.
