Dr. Sabine Gless teaches criminal law, criminal procedure and international criminal law at the University of Basel, Switzerland. She has conducted extensive comparative research in the area of criminal procedure, with a focus on evidence law and international cooperation. In both areas, human rights and issues concerning the exclusion of evidence have been at the centre of her research interests. More recently she covers topics related to the use of robots in criminal justice systems. Dr. Thomas Richter served as the head of the East Asian Department of the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Law in Freiburg, Germany. In this capacity, he analysed the criminal law and criminal procedure law of the PRC and co-directed a comparative study on non-prosecution policies in Germany and the PRC. Most recently, he assessed the Rule of Law Programme for Asia, initiated by the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation (2013).
