TunisiaEUPOL COPPS contributes in strengthening the guarantees of a fair trial for Palestinians
EUPOL COPPS advisers, together with the Fair Trial Working Group, continued the discussions on how to better enable Palestinian citizens to get their litigation rights sorted quickly and reduce the backlog of criminal cases.
“The right to a fair trial is fundamental to human rights protection and serves as a procedural means to safeguard the rule of law. It aims at ensuring a proper administration of justice and to this end guarantees a series of specific rights”, said Lina Zettergren, the Mission’s Senior Criminal Justice Expert
The Fair Trial Working Group, comprised of representatives of the High Judicial Council, the Public Prosecution, the Ministry of Justice, the Palestinian Bar Association and the Palestinian Civil Police and steering members from EUPOL COPPS, is working to strengthen the guarantees of a fair trial in the Palestinian judiciary.
