Summary: "This book examines the presumption of innocence from both a practical and theoretical point of view to determine what the presumption of innocence is and how it operates within law. The book approaches the right to presumption of innocence from an international human rights perspective using specific examples drawn from international criminal law. The result is a framework for understanding the right that is grounded in human rights law. This framework can then be applied across different national and international systems. When applied, it can help determine when the presumption of innocence is being infringed upon, eroded, violated, and enable the development of a remedy for the violation and ensuring that the presumption of innocence is protected"-- Provided by publisher.
