Yet reliance on this mechanism raises a number of significant questions concerning: the functions performed by \u003ci\u003eamici\u003c\/i\u003e, which actors seek to intervene and why, and the influence of \u003ci\u003eamicus\u003c\/i\u003e interventions on judicial outcomes. Ultimately, the\u003ci\u003e amicus curiae\u003c\/i\u003e may have a significant impact on the fairness, representativeness and legitimacy of the tribunals' proceedings and decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive examination of the \u003ci\u003eamicus curiae \u003c\/i\u003epractice of the International Criminal Court and other major international criminal tribunals and offers suggestions for the role of the \u003ci\u003eamicus curiae\u003c\/i\u003e. In doing so, the authors develop a framework to augment the potential contributions of \u003ci\u003eamicus\u003c\/i\u003e participation in respect of the legitimacy of international criminal tribunals and their decisions, while minimising interference with the core judicial competence of the tribunal and the right of the accused to a fair and expeditious trial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah Williams is Professor at the Faculty of Law, UNSW Sydney.\u003cbr\u003eHannah Woolaver is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Cape Town.\u003cbr\u003eEmma Palmer is a Lecturer at Griffith Law School, Griffith University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 August 2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHart Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509954704\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e424\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333183307916,"sku":"9781509954704","price":53.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_9a0088a7-0b58-4570-9550-ca5982463183.jpg?v=1783608924","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781509954704","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
