Bringing together 21 contributions from 26 authors, this anthology has taken up the challenge of establishing "a common language of justice" to facilitate the realization of the rule of law worldwide. The authors establish a broad international context in which to better understand the importance of the promotion of human rights and the rule of law within the criminal justice sector, the universalization of standards, and security and justice reforms.
Speakers included:
Rosemary BARBARET, Professor, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York and former Chair of the International Division of the American Society of Criminology;
Jean-Marc COICAUD, Director, United Nations University Office at the United Nations, New York;
