The Special Court for Sierra Leone was established through signature of a bilateral treaty between the United Nations and the Government of Sierra Leone in early 2002, making it the third modern ad hoc international criminal tribunal. The tribunal has tried various persons, including former Liberian President Charles Ghankay Taylor, for allegedly bearing 'greatest responsibility' for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed during the latter half of the Sierra Leonean armed conflict. It completed its work in December 2013. A new Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone, based in Freetown and with offices in The Hague, has been created to carry out its essential “residual” functions. This volume, which consists of three books and a CD-ROM and is edited by two legal experts on the Sierra Leone court, presents, for the first time in a single place, a comprehensive collection of all the interlocutory decisions and final trial and appeals judgments issued by the court in the case Prosecutor volume Charles Ghankay Taylor . The Taylor case is the jewel in the crown of the SCSL, as it was the first ever trial and conviction of a former African head of state for crimes committed in a neighboring state. It is also one of a handful of such significant cases in international criminal law. The Taylor Law Report contains the full text of all substantive judicial decisions, including the majority, separate and concurring as well as dissenting opinions and probably the longest trial judgment ever issued by an international criminal court. It additionally provides relevant information for a better understanding of the case, such as the indictments, a list of admitted exhibits and a list of documents on the case file. This book set, which is the third in a series of edited law reports that follows volume 1 (on Prosecutor volume Brima, Kamara and Kanu – the so-called “AFRC case” published in November 2012) and volume 2 ( Prosecutor volume Norman, Fofana and Kondewa – the “CDF case” published in March 2014) seeks to capture the entire jurisprudential legacy of the tribunal, fills the gap for a single and authoritative reference source of the tribunal’s jurisprudence. These law reports, the last volumes of which will be published in 2015 and 2016, are intended for national and international judges, lawyers, academics, students and other researchers as well as transitional justice practitioners in courts, tribunals and truth commissions as well as anyone seeking an accurate record of the trials conducted by the Special Court for Sierra Leone. N.B.: The hardback copy of this title contains a CD-ROM with the scanned decisions that are reproduced in the book and the trial transcripts. The e-book version does not.

"In recent decades, international courts have increasingly started investigating armed conflicts. However, the impact of this remains under-researched. Patrick S. Wegner closes this gap via a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the International Criminal Court in the Darfur and Lord's Resistance Army conflicts. He offers a fresh approach to peace and conflict studies, while avoiding the current quantitative focus of the literature and polarisation between critics and supporters of applying justice in conflicts. This is the first time that the impact of an international criminal court has been analysed in all its facets in two conflicts. The consequences of these investigations are much more complex and difficult to predict than most of the existing literature suggests. Recurrent claims, such as the deterrent effect of trials and the danger of blocking negotiations by the issuing of arrest warrants, are put to the test here with some surprising results"-- "In recent decades, international courts have increasingly started investigating armed conflicts.

Al estudiar la regla o cláusula de exclusión probatoria dentro del ordenamiento interno colombiano, se entiende que la regla general es la prohibición de aducir elementos de prueba que sean resultado de injerencias arbitrarias en la intimidad de las personas; por excepción, estas solamente se pueden practicar después de orden judicial, so pena de que los resultados sean excluidos del proceso. Sin embargo, en la práctica hay casos que presentan un desarrollo diferente a lo que han venido planteando la legislación y la jurisprudencia nacional, y ello se ilustrará a través de tres casos de referencia. En contraste, la regla de exclusión ha tenido un tratamiento diferente a la luz del derecho internacional, principalmente en el derecho internacional humanitario, derecho internacional de los derechos humanos y el derecho internacional penal. Siendo así, el planteamiento y principal objeto de esta obra se enfoca en la siguiente interrogación: ¿cuáles son las diferencias entre el derecho nacional y el derecho internacional sobre la regla de exclusión? La búsqueda de la respuesta impone revisar la consistencia de la posición de la Corte Constitucional cuando afirma que la regla que contiene el Estatuto de Roma es equiparable a la regla de exclusión nacional, según la Sentencia C-578 de 2002.
