Fair Trials is the global criminal justice watchdog. 

What do we do?

• We resolve these issues, working with the best global experts.

What topics can we provide expert opinion on within criminal justice?

• The right to a fair trial across the world and what happens without it.
• How people can understand and defend their rights, wherever they are and whatever they have done.
• How we campaign for fair and effective criminal justice systems.
• Defence rights in the EU, including the presumption of innocence and the right to a lawyer.
• Justice in Europe by country in relation to European Court of Human Rights.
• Effective extradition laws to help fight cross border crime – extradition reform and the European Arrest Warrant.
• The unjustified use of pre-trial detention and issues surrounding this, including the prevalence of inhumane conditions in Europe’s prisons.
• INTERPOL and the abuse of its systems around the world to persecute refugees, journalists and peaceful political demonstrators.
• Torture and specifically the role which the right to a fair trial and procedural safeguards have to play in preventing torture in the context of counter-terrorism initiatives.

What can we provide?

• Quotes, comments and interviews with Fair Trials spokespeople.
