Strengthening the Defence in Death Penalty Cases in ChinaThe Great Britain China Center (London), the Chinese Academy for Social Sciences (CASS, Beijing) and the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law (Freiburg) carry out a joint comprehensive project entitled “Strengthening the Defence in Death Penalty Cases in China.” Besides training of defence lawyers, the project examines the role defence lawyers play in Chinese criminal proceedings and particularly in death penalty proceedings. It aims to single what can and should be done to empower defence councils to play an effective role in death penalty eligible cases and, more generally, to establish an effective system of legal aid. Effective defence is, in fact, a key element in fair criminal proceedings and in successfully preventing that wrongful convictions lead to the execution of innocents. |
