Jahid Hossain Bhuiyan and Shawkat Alam contains original contributions in different aspects of human rights. It is the outcome of academic collaborations of 20 academics of Indian jurisdiction. The right to fair trial in criminal proceedings is one of the basic human rights. In the first article of the book entitled "The Significance of Fair Trial under Human Rights Law in Matters of Criminal Justice; A Case Study of the Trial of Former Iraqi Leader, Mr. Saddam Hussein", the author notes that the Iraq War has raised the question of whether it was proper for the new Government in Iraq to try the former Head of State, Mr. Saddam Hussein, on certain charges. The author also notes that in case of Saddam Hussein starting from the very first step of the trial to the execution at every step and every stage the established norms of fairness and transparency was the biggest casualty. She reaches into the conclusion that Saddam Hussein was denied the right to fair trial and the entire trial had been concluded in a record span of condensed time which is contrary to the age-old legal maxim that justice hurried is justice buried.

Therefore any country of the world shall have jurisdiction in relation to these crimes. In international law this is called universal jurisdiction principle - quasi delicta juris gentium. Like every concept, "jurisdiction" may have different meanings. The word comes from latin roots: ''jus" or ''juris" meaning "law" and "dicere" meaning "to say" or "to read". Therefore, "jurisdiction" can be understood to mean; "to say the law" and, as a derivative; "the power to say the law''. Presently, "jurisdiction" is understood as the legislative, adjudicative and executive power that provides respectively competence to prescribe, adjudicate or execute the law, in particular the territorial competence of courts. Jurisdiction in criminal matters may be considered either as substantial or procedural law. Customary international law was covering sea piracy, slavery, and child and woman trade under universal jurisdiction. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/119639 Title: La minoranza Rom nell'Unione Europea : un quadro d'insieme Authors: Siino, Grazia Alessandra Abstract: This article investigates the situation of Roma people in the European context. It has been calculated that nowadays around 10-12 millions of Roma live within European borders. Given that most of them are European citizens, they benefit from the rights which are recognized to every citizen of the Union: from the right of free movement to the right to work, from the right to property to the right to healthcare. On the other hand, as a minority, they are also protected by the European Union Treaty, article 2, and the European Council Convention on minorities. Nevertheless, it is a statutory context that sometimes does not guarantee an effective integration and trusteeship. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z
