{"product_id":"the-amicus-curiae-in-international-sarah-williams-9781509954704","title":"The Amicus Curiae in International Criminal Justice","description":"The \u003ci\u003eamicus curiae\u003c\/i\u003e - or friend of the court - is the main mechanism for actors other than the parties, including civil society actors and states, to participate directly in proceedings in international criminal tribunals. Yet reliance on this mechanism raises a number of significant questions concerning: the functions performed by \u003ci\u003eamici\u003c\/i\u003e, which actors seek to intervene and why, and the influence of \u003ci\u003eamicus\u003c\/i\u003e interventions on judicial outcomes. Ultimately, the\u003ci\u003e amicus curiae\u003c\/i\u003e may have a significant impact on the fairness, representativeness and legitimacy of the tribunals' proceedings and decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive examination of the \u003ci\u003eamicus curiae\u003c\/i\u003epractice of the International Criminal Court and other major international criminal tribunals and offers suggestions for the role of the \u003ci\u003eamicus curiae\u003c\/i\u003e. In doing so, the authors develop a framework to augment the potential contributions of \u003ci\u003eamicus\u003c\/i\u003e participation in respect of the legitimacy of international criminal tribunals and their decisions, while minimising interference with the core judicial competence of the tribunal and the right of the accused to a fair and expeditious trial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Williams, Hannah Woolaver, Emma Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509954708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509954704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.86d","brand":"Sarah Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068192911615,"sku":"9781509954704","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae673086-1269-4c0e-b2fa-736944627ba2.jpg?v=1685417583","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-amicus-curiae-in-international-sarah-williams-9781509954704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
