An independent court cannot be told what to decide by anyone, not even by a government official or the president. It will look at the facts of the case and at the law. Each person must have an equal chance to try to convince the court to decide in his or her favour. All trials must take place within a reasonable time. This rule prevents people from being charged with a crime then held in prison for a long time before they have a chance to defend themselves.
All people have a right to privacy in their own homes.
The government cannot open their letters or listen to their telephone conversations. However, there can be exception to this rule for reasons of national security or safety, or for the protection of the community. All children have the right to a name and a nationality. They also have the right to know and be cared for by their parents, although the best interests of the child will be the most important factor in any laws that are passed on the role of parents. Children are protected against economic exploitation.
