Abstract

This chapter introduces the idea of the right to be present at trial. It provides some historical context for the right, tracing its origins in domestic law from the first millennium bce. It then discusses how the right to be present was incorporated into international criminal law in the twentieth century. It also takes note of the evolution of the right in international criminal law as more international and internationalised criminal courts and tribunals came into being. The chapter then sets out the structure of the succeeding chapters and the issues surrounding the right to be present each chapter intends to address. It also provides a brief summary of the findings set out in the conclusion.
