Key contemporary issues

 

A number of contemporary issues that typically undermine the right to a fair trial are examined in the subsequent sections:

• Investigative phase , and

• Trial and sentencing phase of the criminal justice process

These topics are intended to be illustrative rather than comprehensive in identifying key areas of concern regarding the right to fair trial and due process in the counter-terrorism setting. Other topics which can raise similar concerns, such as detention, are considered in Module 10.
