A CASE FOR RESTRICTING FAIR TRIAL RIGHTS OF THE OFFENDERS INVOLVED IN INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM AND ORGANISED CRIME
ByDR. USMAN HAMEED*
Introduction:
The UN sponsored international conventions on terrorism and organised crime require states parties to provide fair trial rights to the offenders. The object of these conventions is to facilitate state cooperation in law enforcement through integration of national justice systems. While the conventions require provision of rights in accordance with international human rights law, states, in practise tend to tailor these rights to suit the needs of their domestic justice systems. This paper will look into the impact of fair trial rights rules of these conventions on the prosecution and trial of the offenders at national level.
