NATO 'fair trial' safeguards: precursor to an international bill of procedural rights: Argues that the fair trial provisions developed within the NATO framework can be seen as a precursor to a broader international bill of procedural rights. Ellert's work uses the practical implementation of these safeguards to suggest how international human rights law can be modified and expanded, ultimately leading to a universal acceptance of such rights. The book analyzes how NATO nations, despite their different legal systems, found common ground in ensuring fair trials for servicemen, setting a precedent for international cooperation on human rights.

Perjury: the Hiss-Chambers case: When the Hiss-Chambers case first burst on the scene in 1948, its main characters and events seemed more appropriate to spy fiction than to American reality.

Now, in its latest edition, Perjury links together the old and new evidence, much of it previously undiscovered or unavailable, bringing the Hiss-Chambers’s amazing story up to the present.
