Biography

Sonia Głogowska, LL.D., is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Criminal Procedure at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.

"I have been waiting for years for the publication of a monograph on the law governing the appellate proceedings before the International Criminal Court.

In the future, her book will therefore serve as one central point of reference for all those, practitioners and scholars alike, who wish to reflect more deeply about the fundamentals of the appeals process before the International Criminal Court."

Claus Kreß, Professor of International Law and Criminal Law and Director of the Institute of International Peace and Security Law at the University of Cologne, Germany
