National criminal procedure shoehorned into a global procedure shoe when trying crimes against humanity

Nowak, Karol LU (2021) In International Criminal Law Review 23(1). p.41-56
Abstract

In this article the argument is made that a global court like the icc is not suitable for gaining the trust of those it rules over and that the procedure used when trying crimes against humanity is a poor fit as it is to a large extent based on national procedural codes. It is suggested that a split of the icc into several regional bodies with common procedural rules that are amended to suit the special needs when trying crimes against humanity would be beneficial for the court's credibility. The point is also made that the goals of international trials and tribunals a poorly formulated and that they over promise and need to be amended to better reflect reality.
