Abstract

The implications of the procedural laws when mitigating domestic and international criminal activity includes both domestic and international laws which are based on a lot of the same traditions, including common law, civil law, adversarial systems, and inquisitorial systems. Defendants are read their rights when arrested and before questioning, and are given an opportunity to contact their countries consulate for counsel, as well as given a fair trial, which is a combination of the Adversarial Anglo-American system, and the Inquisitorial European Civil Law tradition.
