Tyranny on Trial: Personality and Courtroom Conduct of Defendants Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein

摘要

When Saddam Hussein assumes his place in the defendant's dock in Iraq for his trial later this year or early in 2006, for this second political trial of the century he will be following in the pathway of Slobodan Milosevic on trial for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. For both leaders on trial, their personalities and political behavior will play key roles in determining their conduct in the courtroom and influence the outcome of the trials.
