Judicial Responsibility and Coups d'Etat by Kriangsak Kittichaisaree

Judicial Responsibility and Coups d'Etat by Kriangsak Kittichaisaree

This book examines the responsibility of judges of domestic courts following unconstitutional usurpation of power of government (coups d'etat). It explores judges' liability for failing to discharge their judicial duty independently and impartially, and the criminality of usurpers and their accomplices and collaborators.

"Judicial Responsibility and Coups d'État is the definitive study of a crucial issue faced by many courts around the world: how to grapple with unconstitutional changes in governmentWritten with great analytic clarity, the book ranges across a wide array of legal issues and regional contexts. Highly recommended!".
