Book review: counsel misconduct before the International Criminal Court: professional responsibility in international criminal defence

The International Criminal Court’s regulatory regime was introduced in response to instances of misconduct experienced by other international and domestic criminal courts. This book considers how International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda and the Special Court for Sierra Leone have coped with misconduct, often resulting in controversy. The book also looks at the approaches that have evolved in Germany and the United States, reflecting the different role of defence lawyers in the civil and common law criminal justice traditions. Kristen Perrin finds that this book has a place as an in-depth analysis and thorough reference on the subject of counsel misconduct before international criminal courts.
