A lively narrative account of the first case to appear at the International Criminal Court, A Conviction in Question offers an accessible account of the rapid evolution of international law and the controversial trial at the foundation of the International Criminal Court.
The first book to thoroughly examine Dyilo's trial, A Conviction in Question looks at the legal issues behind each of the trial's critical moments, including the participation of Dyilo's victims at the trial and the impact of witness protection. Through eye-witness observation and analysis, Jim Freedman shows that the trial suffered from all the problems associated with ordinary criminal law trials, and uses Dyilo's case to further comment on the role of international courts in a contemporary global context.
