This book first underlines the actual meaning and effects of the presumption of innocence, and subsequently considers its interpretation and application by the International Criminal Court, in four key respects: 1. Standards of proof; 2. Statements of public officials and media reports; 3. Pre-conviction detention; 4. Rights of Victims.

Consequently, unless it is applied and interpreted as such, it is most unlikely that the International Criminal Court and thus any other criminal court will secure a fair trial for the accused.
