It's actually impossible to overstate how important the right to a fair trial is. Honestly.  

Fair trials are the only way to prevent miscarriages of justice and are an essential part of a just society. Every person accused of a crime should have their guilt or innocence determined by a fair and effective legal process. But its not just about protecting suspects and defendants. It also makes societies safer and stronger. Without fair trials, victims can have no confidence that justice will be done. Without fair trials, trust in government and the rule of law collapses.  

The right to a fair trial is not new; it has long been recognised by the international community as a basic human right. Despite this, it's a right that is being abused in countries across the globe with devastating human and social consequences.

Despite the importance of fair trials being recognised by the international community, this basic human right is being abused day-in-day-out in countries across the globe. We’re working to put an end to these abuses, towards realising our vision of a world where every person’s right to a fair trial is respected.

What is new is the scale and nature of the challenge: the number of people directly affected by criminal justice is growing with new offences created every day and increasing numbers being jauiled. Countries are developing swifter ways of imposing punishments, often without a trial; the global "war on terror" and flawed political talk of "rebelancing" criminal justice systems to make us safer has had a corrosive effect; dictators and authoritarian regimes are finding new ways of using criminal justicce as a tool of oppression; and human rights face new threats from increasing cross-border cooperation to fight crime.  

The tabs above go some way to trying to explain some of the basics of what actually makes a fair trial.

We are working towards an ambitious global goal. We won’t get there overnight and we can’t make it on our own. But with each step we take towards our vision of a world where every person’s right to a fair trial is respected, we are protecting people against miscarriages of justice and building fair and effective criminal justice systems that benefit everyone.  

The Right to a Fair Trial is recognised internationally as a fundamental human right and countries are required to respect it. Different countries have developed different ways of doing this, but regardless of how a particular legal system operates, the principles above are core to all fair justice systems and they all form part of the Right to a Fair Trial.
