Arbitration by its nature is polycentric: one might more accurately speak of arbitrations in the plural. A wide variety of disputes are included in one category, implicating differences related to the sophistication of the parties, the character of the disputes, and the public interests at stake. The current legal framework for arbitration conducted in the United States attempts to squeeze all types of arbitration into the Procrustean bed of a single set of standards for judicial review. The United States should seriously consider eliminating judicial discretion to review the substantive merits of awards in international cases. The domestically nourished doctrine of "manifest disregard of the law" risks misapplication in cross-border contests. The FAA should be cantonized into separate regimes for domestic and international arbitration, thus permitting the latter to evolve independent of whatever protective legislative and judicial initiatives might be appropriate to address concerns developed in a domestic context.

Cet ouvrage procède d'une prémisse bien connue : le droit pénal, s'il contribue au maintien des droits essentiels de chacun, implique en retour l'exercice d'un certain pouvoir de contrainte sur les individus, et constitue ainsi un danger à l'égard de ces mêmes droits et libertés. La justice pénale internationale n'est, pas plus que les tribunaux nationaux, épargnée par ce « paradoxe pénal ». C'est cette conviction qui a inspiré le présent ouvrage. Son ambition est de mettre l'action de la Cour pénale internationale à l'épreuve de l'exigence de liberté. Le droit et la pratique de la Cour pénale internationale y sont ainsi successivement confrontés à sept applications concrètes de cette garantie essentielle : le droit d'être informé des raisons de sa privation de liberté, le droit d'être présenté à un juge, le droit de contester le bien-fondé de sa privation de liberté, le droit à la liberté stricto sensu, le droit d'être libéré pour raisons humanitaires, le droit d'être jugé rapidement ou libéré au cours de la procédure et, enfin, le droit à une réparation appropriée.
