Abstract

The right to a fair trial occupies a central place in the system of modern justice because it transforms the idea of justice from an abstract moral value into a concrete legal guarantee. A court decision may be formally lawful, but it cannot be regarded as genuinely just if the procedure that led to it was unequal, biased, inaccessible or dependent on external influence.
