Some of the former leaders put on trial have attempted to use their right to self-representation to disrupt and discredit the proceedings. ... Patricia M. Wald, who served as a judge for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, writes about the difficulties of ensuring a fair trial when former leaders defend themselves by attacking the court. Drawing on her experiences, and the experiences of judges and participants in other celebrated proceedings, Wald provides insightful lessons learned and practical recommendations for upcoming leader trials"--Page 4 of cover.
