Abstract:

How can defendants be tried if they cannot understand the charges being raised
against them? Can a witness testify if the judges and attorneys cannot
understand what the witness is saying? Can a judge decide whether to convict
or acquit if she or he cannot read the documentary evidence? The very
viability of international criminal prosecution and adjudication hinges on the
massive amounts of translation and interpreting that are required in order to
run these lengthy, complex trials, and the procedures for handling the demands
facing language services. This book explores the dynamic courtroom
interactions in the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
in which witnesses testify—through an interpreter—about translations,
attorneys argue—through an interpreter—about translations and the
interpreting, and judges adjudicate on the interpreted testimony and
translated evidence.
