When it comes to trials concerning genocide or crimes against humanity, the accused are more often than not presumed guilty. Therefore, defence lawyers are considered a necessarily evil. But are we really? Or worse, are we only an alibi for good conscience before an expected conviction? I would like to share my experience as a defence lawyer before international criminal courts and shed a different light on what the defence work really is.
