  Abstract

In recent times it has been argued that international criminal proceedings are too costly, too long and no longer politically or financially viable. This article proposes several ways in which pre-trial proceedings in international criminal trials may be fairly expedited. The author argues that more judicial involvement in the pre-trial phase could assist in reducing the length and ineffectiveness of international criminal trials.
