The excessive and arbitrary use of pre-trial detention is a global problem, affecting developed and developing countries alike, and can have a harmful impact on individual lives, families and communities. This report is a publication of the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative that identifies and presents a one-of-a-kind comparative analysis of pre-trial safeguards in the existing legal and policy frameworks of all 54 Member States that constitute the Commonwealth.
The report was created with pro bono support facilitated by TrustLaw and legal research provided by K&L Gates Straits Law LLC (project coordinator); Allen and Overy LLP; Nyoh Law Chambers; and Shearman & Sterling LLP to inform this report.
