First sentence: This book deals with, as its title promises, human rights in criminal proceedings, that is to say, the various ways in which the regional and universal laws of fundamental rights and freedoms restrict the power of Contracting States, by requiring them to establish the prerequisites for the application of retributive sanctions against persons suspected of having acted against the law.
