Excerpt from The Case of Kieng Chek Kham Muon Before the Franco-Siamese Mixed Court: Constitution of the Mixed Court and Rules of Procedure, the Trial, Judgement and Condemnation of Phra Yot 5. The Public Prosecutor shall lay before the Court the grounds of the Accusation and shall afterwards give a list of the witnesses called both by himself and by the accused. This list shall be read aloud by the Recorder. 6. The President shall order the witnesses to withdraw to a room prepared for them. They shall not leave this room except to give their evidence. 7. The Accused shall be examined, then the witnesses shall be heard, after having been sworn before this Court to say all the truth and nothing but the truth; the Recorder shall note this as well as their names, professions and residence. 8. After the evidence of each witness, the President shall ask the Accused if the wishes to answer to what has just been said against him. It shall not be allowed to interrupt the witness; the accused or his counsel shall be allowed to put him questions through the President, after he shall have given his evidence, and to lay before the Court anything against the witness or his evidence that might be useful to the defence of the Accused. The President shall also have the right to ask from the witness or the accused any explanation he shall deem necessary to discover the truth. The Judges and the Public Prosecutor shall have the same facility after they have asked the President's leave. 9. During the whole course of the trial, the President shall have the right to hear all witnesses and to obtain all information which he shall deem necessary to discover the truth. 10. After the hearing of the witnesses and the observations to which their evidence may have given rise, the Public Prosecutor shall be heard, and shall develop before the Court the circumstances upon which the accusation is based. The Accused and his Counsel shall have the right to answer. The Public Prosecutor shall be allowed to reply but the accused or his Counsel shall always have the right to speak last. The President shall then declare the debates closed. 11. The President shall put the questions arising from the debates in these words: "Is the accused guilty of having committed such a deed, with all the circumstances contained in the Act of Accusation." Then ho shall put the question of extenuating circumstances. 12. After the questions shall have been read by the President, the Accused, his Counsel, and the Public Prosecutor shall be allowed to make any observations, on the way the questions are put, which they will deem fit. If the Public Prosecutor or the Accused object to the way in which a question is put, the Court shall decide on the merits of their objection. 13. The President shall then order the Accused to retire, and the Court shall withdraw to the Chamber of deliberation to deliberate upon the solution of the questions and the punishment to be awarded. In case of Condemnation the punishment shall be inflicted according to the following rules, viz: Art. 1. - Homicide committed voluntarily is called murder. Art. 2. - Any murder committed with premeditation or ambush is termed assassination. Art. 3. - Premeditation is the design formed before the deed, of committing an offence against the person of a certain individual, or even of any individual that will be found or met, even were this design to depend on a certain circumstance or condition. Art. 4 - Acccomplices of a crime or an offence shall incur the same punishment as the authors of such a crime or offence, except when the law will have disposed otherwise.

Several instances of war crimes trials are familiar to all scholars, but in order to advance understanding of the development of international criminal law, it is important to provide a full range of evidence from less-familiar trials. This book therefore provides an essential resource for a more comprehensive overview, uncovering and exploring some of the lesser-known war crimes trials that have taken place in a variety of contexts: international and domestic, northern and southern, historic and contemporary. It analyses these trials with a view to recognising institutional innovations, clarifying doctrinal debates, and identifying their general relevance to contemporary international criminal law. At the same time, the book recognises international criminal law's history of suppression or sublimation: What stories has the discipline refused to tell? What stories have been displaced by the ones it has told? Has international criminal law's framing or telling of these stories excluded other possibilities? And - perhaps most important of all - how can recovering the lost stories and imagining new narrative forms reconfigure the discipline? Many of the trials examined in this book have hardly ever before been discussed; others have been examined only in the most cursory manner. Indeed, until now, no volume has been dedicated to telling the story of these trials, that have yet to find a place in the international criminal law canon. Providing a detailed analysis of these trials, which took place in Europe, Africa, South America, and Australasia, in both historical and contemporary contexts, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the development of international criminal law.

Volume 12 of the EYIEL focuses on “The Future of Dispute Settlement in International Economic Law”. While new forms of dispute settlement are emerging, others are in deep crisis. The volume starts off with reflections on Dispute Settlement and the World Trade Organisation, most prominently the crisis of the Appellate Body, but also addressing international intellectual property law and the African Continental Free Trade Area. This is followed by a section on Dispute Settlement and Investment Protection/International Investment Law, which includes articles on the summary dismissal of claims, the margin of appreciation doctrine, the use of conciliation to settle sovereign debt disputes, and contract-based arbitration in light of Achmea and Hagia Sophia at ICSID. Further contributions consider the emerging role of commercial courts, the dejudicialization of international economic law, dispute settlement in the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement, reference mechanisms in dispute resolution clauses, and UNCLOS.
