Overview

Judicial Dialogue on Human Rights offers a critical legal perspective on the manner in which international criminal tribunals select, (re-)interpret and apply the principles and standards formulated by the European Court of Human Rights. A part of the book is devoted to testing the assumption that the current practice of cross-referencing, though widespread, is incoherent in method and erratic in substance. Notable illustrations analysed in the book include the nullum crimen principle, prohibition of torture, hearsay evidence and victims' rights. Another section of the book seeks to devise a methodologically sound 'grammar' of judicial dialogue, focussing on how and when human rights concepts may be transferred into the context of international criminal justice.

Reviews

Lobba and Mariniello examine the methodology and approach - or lack thereof - of international criminal tribunals when incorporating the case law and standards developed by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) into decisions. The volume belongs to a relatively rare species of reflective books, which critically comment upon certain developments or trends, while retaining a practical aspect. The 15 chapters, spanning four parts, attempt to insert order into an otherwise chaotic and underexplored field. In addition, the reader is provided with some tangible rules and methodology arising from the analysis. Niccolo Pons, Journal of International Criminal Justice, Volume 16, Issue 3, 1 July 2018, Pages 672-675.
