Abstract
While substantive international criminal law has experienced steady early development, the study of international criminal procedure has been slower to emerge. Christoph Safferling has been one of the forerunners in the field. His first book, Towards an International Criminal Procedure,1 was one of the earliest contributions to analysing the rules of procedure in international criminal trials. Safferling’s new volume, International Criminal Procedure, aims to examine ‘how international criminal law has been executed’.2 At over 600 pages, this is a welcome addition to the libraries of students, scholars and practitioners. International Criminal Procedure focuses on the International Criminal Court’s procedural regime, backed by an examination of procedure at the ad hoc courts and tribunals. This book is in 10 sections. Preliminary chapters address the theoretical background, before moving into the practical realities of an international criminal trial. Safferling and his contributors address issues including the participants and all the stages of the trial process, as well as a chapter on contempt of court processes ‘as a specific safeguard for the fairness of the proceedings’.3
