Finally, in their dialogue with UN treaty bodies, States have regularly referred to trainings provided by the ICRC (see for example responses by Niger and Mexico), as well as of the role of the Red Cross in setting up missing persons databases (see for example responses by Bosnia and Hercegovina and Mexico).

writes that “[i]f promoting a fair trial and spreading a culture of procedural fairness were the only goals of international criminal justice, then the absolutist approach to remedies might well be the optimal one.” I would not go so far. Promoting global norms, including those pertaining to the rights of criminal defendants, is not the only goal of international criminal justice.
