Abstract
The right to a fair trial is an essential
safeguard of a just society and its importance cannot be overstated. It is an
essential guarantee of the rule of law. When a person is charged with a crime,
or involved in some other legal dispute, they have the right to a fair
trial. This means a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time, by an
independent and impartial court. In Europe, the European Court of Human Rights
has remedied numerous cases of unfair trials including many which led to
the oppression and imprisonment of innocent persons. Many people have used the
European Convention on Human Rights to get a retrial and to make sure that the
government of the Member States develop proper rules which prevent
dehumanization and thereby practice rule of law to avoid similar miscarriages
of justice. This paper shall examine the position of national law of some
Member States and identify how the decisions of the European Court of Human
Rights have resorted to legislative reformation of the European States.
