Editorial Reviews

Review

"Fact-Finding Without Facts is stunning in its quality, meticulous in its methodology, and revolutionary in its effects. Combs cracks the conventional wisdom that international criminal trials successfully determine who did what to whom during the cataclysm of mass atrocity. Hers is a grounded critique -- piercing, precise, yet itching with the promise of institutional reform. Fact-Finding Without Facts is among the most impressive publications to appear in the past decade in the field of post-conflict justice."

Mark A. Drumbl
Class of 1975 Alumni Professor of Law
Director, Transnational Law Institute
Washington and Lee University, School of Law




"Nancy Combs's latest book, Fact Finding Without Facts provides a startling indictment of the fact-finding process in international criminal law. Her conclusion that "more than 50% of the witnesses appearing in these trials testified in a way that was seriously inconsistent with their pre-trial statements" is chilling. Those interested in social epistemology, normative inquiry, and legal theory, as well as practitioners in international criminal law cannot afford to ignore this brilliant book."

Larry May
W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Law
Vanderbilt University




"Fact-Finding Without Facts is an excellent and unique study on what is the core of every criminal trial, proper and accurate fact-finding. Based on meticulous research, Combs makes us aware of the fragile state of international criminal proceedings. The field of international criminal law is in dire need of this type of critical study for further improvement. But Combs not only criticizes, she also offers highly valuable recommendations. This book is a must-read for everybody who sincerely wishes to improve the quality of fact-finding in international criminal trials."

G. K. Sluiter
Professor of International Criminal Law, University of Amsterdam


Book Description

This book explores international criminal fact-finding - empirically, conceptually, and normatively - to reveal that criminal trials are beset by fact-finding impediments that impair the tribunals' ability to determine who did what to whom. The book concludes that these tribunals base their judgments on a less precise, more amorphous method of fact-finding than they publicly acknowledge.
