This examination of the role of the defense in international criminal proceedings highlights its contribution to the development of international criminal law and the fair administration of international criminal justice.

The authors examine, among other issues, the role of the defense during the different stages of international criminal proceedings, the key aspects of defense work which seek to ensure the accused's right to a fair trial, professional ethics, the United Nations Residual Mechanism for International Tribunals, and post-conviction remedies and issues relating to those serving prison sentences.

Book Description
This book, first published in 1990, examines the theories on ‘nonoffensive’ or ‘nonprovocative’ defence that arose at the end of the Cold War. The debate around the theories is analysed here, including the claims that nonoffensive defence would lead to conventional stability, security at lower levels of armaments, and reduce suspicion leading to peace and stability.

Hold the Marianas
Author: D. Colt DenfeldPublisher: White Mane Publishing Company
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Hold the Marianas is the first English language account of the World War II battle of the Marianas from the Japanese perspective. Employing diaries, messages, and oral histories in the English, Japanese, and Korean languages, the author demonstrates that the Japanese commanders were their own worst enemy. Despite the importance of the Marianas to the survival of the home islands, they were slowly reinforced and defended at the beach line, a terrible choice, in light of American naval and air bombardment capabilities. The book explains why the leadership held to this flawed defense. Hold the Marianas describes how the Japanese high command finally came to realize its errors. The result was better dug-in troops at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, prolonging the battles and inflicting higher American casualties. Had an in-depth defense been used in the Marianas, American casualties might have been four or five times greater.

The Defence of Sevastopol, 1941–1942
Author: Clayton DonnellPublisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1473879264
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This vividly detailed WWII history chronicles one of the hardest-fought battles of the Crimea Campaign. In December 1941, while America was reeling from the attack on Pearl Harbor and the offensives of the German Army Groups North and Center were stalled in the brutal Russian winter, the German Eleventh Army encircled the vast fortress of Sevastopol in the Crimea. The Red Army faced massive air, artillery and land attacks against their heavily defended positions in one of the most remarkable campaigns in the history of modern warfare: The Siege of Sevastopol. Drawing on his expert knowledge of the history of modern fortifications, Donnell describes the design and development of the Red Army’s formidable base at Sevastopol. He then chronicles the sequence of attacks mounted by the Wehrmacht against the city’s strongpoints. The forts and bunkers had to be taken one by one in a bitter six-month struggle with sever casualties on both sides. Using documentary records and a range of personal accounts, Clayton Donnell reconstructs the events and experience of the campaign in vivid detail.
