Abstract

Human rights in criminal processing are crucial for ensuring justice and protecting individual freedoms within legal systems. This paper examines the integration of human rights standards throughout various stages of criminal processing, from arrest and investigation to trial and sentencing. It highlights key rights, such as the right to be free from torture and inhumane treatment, the right to legal representation, the right to be informed of charges, and the presumption of innocence. The influence of international human rights instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), on shaping national policies and practices is explored. Additionally, the paper addresses contemporary issues such as discrimination, wrongful convictions, and the impact of technological advancements on privacy rights. The study underscores the need for continuous reforms and robust oversight mechanisms to ensure that criminal processing aligns with human rights principles, ultimately fostering a fair and equitable justice system.
