Conclusion and Recommendations. 330 $aLanguage and the Right to Fair Hearing in International Criminal Trials explores the influence of the dynamic factor of language on trial fairness in international criminal proceedings. By means of empirical research and jurisprudential analysis, this book explores the implications that conducting a trial in more than one language can have for the right to fair trial. It reveals that the language debate is as old as international criminal justice, but due to misrepresentation of the status of language fair trial rights in international law, the debate has not yielded concrete reforms. Language is the core foundation for justice. It is the means through which the rights of the accused are secured and exercised. Linguistic complexities such as misunderstandings, translation errors and cultural distance among participants in international criminal trials affect courtroom communication, the presentation and the perception of the evidence, hence jeopardizing the foundations of a fair trial. The author concludes that language fair trial rights are priority rights situated in the minimum guarantees of fair criminal trial; the obligation of the court to ensure fair trial or accord the accused person a fair hearing also includes the duty to ensure they can understand and be understood. 606 $aInternational criminal law 606 $aApplied linguistics 606 $aCriminology 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aMediation 606 $aDispute resolution (Law) 606 $aArbitration (Administrative law) 606 $aInternational law 606 $aInternational Criminal Law 606 $aApplied Linguistics 606 $aCriminology 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aDispute Resolution, Mediation, Arbitration 606 $aPublic International Law 615 0$aInternational criminal law. 615 0$aApplied linguistics. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aMediation. 615 0$aDispute resolution (Law). 615 0$aArbitration (Administrative law). 615 0$aInternational law. 615 14$aInternational Criminal Law. 615 24$aApplied Linguistics. 615 24$aCriminology. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aDispute Resolution, Mediation, Arbitration. 615 24$aPublic International Law. 676 $a340 676 $a341 676 $a341.48 676 $a345 700 $aNamakula$b Catherine S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01228585 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483365203321 996 $aLanguage and the Right to Fair Hearing in International Criminal Trials$92852264 997 $aUNINA
