Description
Judges have to uphold the rule of law in times of national crisis, including war. A nation will be judged on how it treats its enemies. Trials of captured troops for war crimes and trials of absentee commanders must be fair and credible to stand the test of time. What are the procedures and standards that should be put in place so that judges are confident they are upholding the rule of law?
