Justice in Europe

Europe must cooperate to fight serious crime but this must not be at the expense of our basic rights and freedoms. Europe should work together to improve basic fair trial rights - not undermine them.

Drawing on the real-life examples of injustice that we encounter at Fair Trials International, we are campaigning for Justice in Europe, including reform of Europe’s fast-track extradition regime: the European Arrest Warrant.

Following in-depth scrutiny of EU cooperation measures, we campaign to ensure basic rights are respected. Alongside this, we support European efforts to protect basic defence rights, the necessary building blocks of the mutual trust that underlies European cooperation.
