Prosecutorial Discretion in International Criminal JusticeAuthor(s): Cale Davis\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781035347155, 978-1035347155\nSynopsis\nFor many years, hidden from view in the secure corridors of The Hague, Arusha, and Freetown, international prosecutors have worked to bring those accused of international crimes to justice. Drawing on first-hand interviews with prosecutors, this book reveals what motivated their decisions from opening investigations and selecting charges, right through to deciding whether to appeal.\n\nThe book explores the motivations and assumptions that underpin prosecutorial decision-making using in-depth analysis of interviews with current and former senior prosecutors from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), and the Internati.
