Criteria for Prioritizing and Selecting Core International Crimes Cases

<p>Selection and prioritization criteria can be made and applied by prosecutors as a professional response to backlogs or surges of cases reducing the risk of politicization of prosecutorial discretion. Prioritization should bring the best-suited cases to trial first. It does not entail de-selection of cases. By offering a wealth of information and in-depth analyses of key documents this book is useful to those who seek to develop fine-tune apply or critique selection or prioritization criteria and would like to learn from the insights of others or from practice. With 26 chapters organized in four parts (on the nature and context of criteria experiences of international(ized) and national jurisdictions and analyses of key interests) the book has contributions by Xabier Agirre Aranburu Fadillah Agus Anees Ahmed Claudia Angermaier Alejandro Aponte Cardona Devasheesh Bais Terry M.
