It seeks to provide an objective and balanced perspective, and neither rejects the idea of victims? participation nor seeks to extend it beyond the contours determined by the founders of the ICC. The author contributes to the existing debate in academia and in practice by delineating the core, most complex and contentious matters ensuing from the role assigned to victims. The scrupulously selected issues unveil and blueprint the essential characteristics that delimit the standing of victims as independent actors in the ICC?s arena, distinct from the parties and other non-party participants. As an integral part of the ICC?s synergy, victims converge and interact with its other components. Therefore, the position and role of victims are contemplated in the context of the Court?s procedural mechanism and the mission pursued by the parties and the Chamber. The philosophy underpinning the ICC?s design and the standing of victims therein also requires analysis from a wider perspective. Accordingly, the volume draws an in-depth parallel with relevant developments and trends at the international and domestic level. Close attention is paid to the legal instruments and jurisprudence of international(ized) criminal justice bodies, human rights institutions and non-criminal jurisdictions to the extent useful for shedding further light on the issues at hand. Recourse is also made to various national systems, whenever relevant. 606 $aVictims of crimes (International law) 606 $aCriminal procedure (International law) 606 $aLocus standi 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVictims of crimes (International law) 615 0$aCriminal procedure (International law) 615 0$aLocus standi. 676 $a345/.0122 700 $aBachvarova$b Tatiana$01067244 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511440903321 996 $aThe standing of victims in the procedural design of the International Criminal Court$92550763 997 $aUNINA
