The Nrc Report And Its Implications For Criminal Litigation, Paul C. Giannelli

In the long run, the report’s recommendations, if adopted, would benefit law enforcement and prosecutors.

The issue has arisen with respect to Uganda's interest in withdrawing its self-referral as part of a peace deal with the leaders of the Lord's Resistance Army. This article examines the Rome Statute, the drafting history, and the …
