ASSESSING THE CONFLICT BETWEEN COPYRIGHT ENFORCEMENT AND THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION UNDER THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS

ABSTRACT

The role of the defense lawyer is similar in each system surveyed in that the defense lawyer responds to the prosecution case and assembles a defense case. In the international courts and tribunals the prosecution and defense conduct their own investigations. The International Criminal Court allows limited involvement by a pre-trial chamber in the investigative process.
