Humanitarian Projects
The ICDAA provides a voice for the defence in the international criminal justice system. We focus on vigorous advocacy for fair trial rights and the organization of a global network of defence counsel, legal associations, legal educators and other professionals. (See Objectives). We believe that cross-cultural communication and collaboration among these key players are vital to building a global legal community that strengthens the international rule of law.
Our vision is that any criminal justice system must rest on three independent pillars : the judiciary, the prosecution and the legal profession. The ICDAA acts both as a fair trial watchdog and an institution builder, advocating the establishment of a truly independent Third Pillar of the international criminal justice system (see Objectives - Vision - Third Pillar).
