International Criminal Court Disciplinary Organs' Handbook

Document from the year 2014 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, , language: English, abstract: The ICC disciplinary regime for counsel is a widely unknown but challenging field of work of high importance not only for counsel appearing before the Court at the Hague but also for national bar associations and authorities being forced to appoint ad-hoc members for proceedings against their members due to alleged misconduct. To provide these newcomers a first introduction in the ICC disciplinary regime together with the fundamental legal texts for their work this publications was written. Nevertheless it is hoped that it will prove useful to those who do not have access to online libraries during their work and also to those who do but would nonetheless value the convenience of a collection which may be kept readily to hand, too.
