Fair Trials is the global criminal justice watchdog, campaigning for fairness, equality and justice.

Our team of independent experts exposes threats to justice through original research and identifies practical changes to fix them. We campaign to change policies, support strategic litigation, reform policy and develop international standards and best practice. We do this by supporting local movements for reform and building partnerships with lawyers, activists, academics and other NGOs.

Our vision

A world in which governments use the power of the criminal process with utmost restraint, humanity, fairness, equality, and respect for the rights and dignity of all people.

Our mission

We serve as an international criminal justice watchdog working to expose, challenge and remedy systemic injustice in criminal processes. We oppose overcriminalisation, discrimination, disparate treatment, and marginalisation of communities. Through evidence-based research, we support broad coalitions, where appropriate, to expose injustice and promote fundamental human rights at all stages of the criminal process.

Our principles

Fair Trials has developed a set of principles that guide our work and help us to deliver our vision and mission. These are outlined in our 2022 strategy, which is available to download in English, French and Spanish.

Where we work

Our mission is global but we are currently focused on campaigning for fair, equal and just criminal legal systems in Europe, Latin America, the UK and the US. We are the only international NGO that campaigns exclusively for the right to a fair trial, which gives us a comparative perspective on the causes of injustice and how to tackle them. Find out more about where we work.

Building a movement

We know that we will not achieve the changes we want on our own. We work with many partners and networks, to support and build wider movements for reform. These partners include local and international NGOs, lawyers and other criminal justice professionals, and academics. Find out more about how we are building a movement.
