Although Lubanga's crimes - including murder, rape, and the forcible conscription of child soldiers - were indisputable, legal wrangling and a clash of personalities caused the trial to be prolonged for an unprecedented six years. This book offers an accessible account of the rapid evolution of international law and the controversial trial at the foundation of the International Criminal Court. A Conviction in Question examines the legal issues behind each of the trial's critical moments, including the participation of Lubanga'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 the Lubanga case to further comment on the role of international courts in a contemporary global context."--Book jacket. 600 10 Dyilo, Thomas Lubanga, |d1960- |xTrials, litigation, etc. 610 20 International Criminal Court. 600 17 Dyilo, Thomas Lubanga, |d1960- |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01913215 610 27 International Criminal Court. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00744466 650 0 War criminals |zCongo (Democratic Republic) 650 0 War crime trials |zNetherlands |zHague. 650 0 Prosecution (International law) |xCases. 650 7 Trials. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01156290 650 7 War crime trials. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01170459 650 7 War criminals. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01170469 651 7 Congo (Democratic Republic) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01208723 651 7 Netherlands |zHague. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204787 830 0 UTP insights. 852 0 |bstacks |hKZ1216.D95 |iF74 2017
