International judicial assistance

de J. D. McClean

"For the past century States have co-operated in providing evidence for use in civil trials in other countries. The growth of international crimes such as drug-trafficking, money-laundering, terrorism, and insider-trading now pose a substantial threat to the economies and stability of States, and Governments and international organizations have been quick to expand past civil law experience into a variety of responses - both diplomatic and institutional - to the new international crimes. Drawing on his involvement in work at The Hague and in drafting the Commonwealth Scheme for Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, the author presents the first detailed study of the whole subject, both the established cooperative procedures in civil cases and the new and expanding criminal law mechanisms throughout the world."--BOOK JACKET.
