The Practice of Pre-Trial Detention: Monitoring Alternatives and Judicial Decision-Making
As an implementing partner organization of Fair Trials International the HHC is launching its new project to provide a unique evidence-base about the practice of pre-trial detention.
The HHC is launching its new project as an implementing partner organization of the Fair Trials International in the project titled “The Practice of Pre-Trial Detention: Monitoring Alternatives and Judicial Decision-Making”, with generous funding from the European Commission, which will provide a unique evidence-base about how pre-trial detention is being used in practice across the European Union.
In the framework of the project the HHC – similarly to the other 9 partner organizations – will gather data on the domestic pre-trial decision-making process and the use of alternatives through in-depth surveys of defence practitioners, monitoring detention hearings, reviewing case files, and conducting interviews with prosecutors and judges. In 2015, the HHC will produce a country-specific report on the use of pre-trial detention, comparing Hungarian practice with domestic law and international standards.
The project is funded by the European Union.
The world is changing. Our devotion to human rights remains the same.
