RIGHT TO FAIR TRIAL IN DIFFERENT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INSTRUMENT:
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1948, provides in Article 10 that: everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.
Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, adopted in 1950, entitles an accused to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time period, to prompt information on the trial in a language which he understands, to confront witnesses testifying on behalf of the prosecution, to order the appearance of witnesses to testify on his behalf, and to legal assistance.
In 1966, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was adopted. It entered into force in 1976 and thus far has been ratified by 164 States. Article 14 of the Covenant affords the full panoply of minimum rights to a criminally accused person.
I turn now to the American Convention on Human Rights, adopted in 1969. Article 8 of this Convention provides the full spectrum of rights to a criminally accused person, comparable to the European Convention.
The African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, adopted by the Organization of African Unity in 1981, also codifies the right to a fair trial. Article 7 contains many of the rights included in

“Ideas about human rights have evolved over many centuries. But they achieved strong international support following the Holocaust and World War II. To protect future generations from a repeat of these horrors, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948 and invited states to sign and ratify it”

What truly are our, "Basic Human Rights". As a result in December 10, 1948 the Universal Declaration
On a global political stand point there was a uniting of ideas and governments; what we know today as the United Nations (UN). One of the main ideas which the UN has grown up around is ‘The individual possess rights simply by virtue of being Human’ (The Universal Declaration of human rights); which was adopted by the general assembly in 10th December 1948. This statement is reflect in the core principles
The idea that there are rights that are applicable to all of humanity originated during the eighteenth century in the Enlightenment and the American and French Revolutions. The atrocities committed during World War II, as well as the Four Freedoms, forcefully raised the issue of human rights in the postwar world. The victorious Allies put numerous German officials on trial before special courts at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity. This was the first time that individuals were held directly accountable to the international community for violation of human rights. The trials ended up sentencing many Nazi officials to prison terms and the execution of ten leaders. In 1948, the UN General Assembly approved the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It identified a broad range of rights to be enjoyed by people everywhere, including freedom of speech, religious toleration, and protection against arbitrary government, as well as social and economic entitlements like the right to an adequate standard of living and access to housing, education, and medical care. The document had no enforcement mechanism. However, it set the core principle that a nation’s treatment of its own citizens should be subject to outside evaluation. This slowly became part of the language in which freedom was discussed. After the Cold War ended, the idea of human rights played an increasingly prominent role in world affairs, but during the 1950s, Cold War imperatives shaped the
In December of 1948, the United Nations presented the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Nations approved of and followed the declaration to prevent people from suffering across the globe from human rights issues such as civil rights, abuse, human trafficking, political and religious freedom, and child labor. Eleanor Roosevelt was the main support behind the declaration. The rights belonging to humans through God or nature is a founding idea and belief in the U.S. Constitution
Article 6 and 9 stood out to me the most throughout the document. Article 6 states that "Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as person before the law". Article 6 is saying that humans should be recognize and treated like a person in the eyes of the law. We must all be granted the rights and bear the obligations accorded to every person by the law. Laws should not define how a

With Article 6, a person is guaranteed to the right to a fair and public hearing in the determination of an individual’s civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charge against him. The ECtHR in case laws has broadly
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights article eight provides that the competent court of the State is entitled to an effective remedy for violations of the fundamental rights conferred by the Constitution or the law (UDHR 1948). Likewise, article two of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1966 ensures that any person claiming such a remedy is entitled to be provided by the competent judicial,
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 was the first attempt to establish the universality of Human Rights. It was a response to the immense loss of life and destruction caused by Second World War and the failure of the international community to respond to it swiftly. The action of Western Europe and North America to deny entry to German Jews fleeing persecution and sending them back also highlighted the need for a universal code of conduct. The Declaration, which later served as the basis for the International Bill of Human Rights of 1966, encompassed the fundamental rights of individual regardless of nationality. The growth in globalization and the increase in free flow of people and information have brought the universality of human right to the forefront.
In our opinion, development of the system of the human rights protection should occurs in the context of rationalization and optimization by simplifying its main procedures without lowering the level of general legal guarantees. These conditions of the legal proceedings are described in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and they has been repeatedly applied by the European Court of Human Rights, also in more than 200 decisions in cases of the violation by Ukraine article 6th of the Convention.
Since over 200 years ago, the establishment of the United States human rights was founded. Universal
