About Us
Since 1992 Fair Trials International has worked for the better protection of fair trial rights and defended the rights of people facing criminal charges in a country other than their own. Our vision is a world where every person’s right to a fair trial is respected, whatever their nationality, wherever they are accused.
Imagine that you are arrested in a foreign country. You don’t speak the language, you have no idea of your rights and you are far from home. Fair Trials International was established to help people in this terrifying predicament to defend their right to a fair trial.
Every year we help hundreds of people and their families to navigate a foreign legal system by offering practical advice, including referrals to local lawyers; guidance on key issues encountered by people arrested abroad; and basic information on different legal systems and local sources of support.
We believe that respect for fundamental rights and the rule of law are the hallmarks of a just society and that the right to a fair trial is at the heart of this. Sadly, our clients’ shocking cases of injustice, demonstrate how, time and again, this most basic human right is being abused.
We fight against injustice by lobbying for the legal reforms needed to ensure that the right to a fair trial is respected in practice. Working with our clients and international networks we also campaign for changes to criminal justice laws which are being abused and overused.
Fair Trials International (first established as Fair Trials Abroad) is a registered charity (No 1134586). We are governed by a board of volunteer Trustees and our staff team (based in London) is supported by a broad and growing network of experts across the globe.
Fair Trials International is registered with limited liability in England and Wales (No 7135273). Registered office: 3/7 Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, London EC4Y 0HP.
