Abstract
Every criminal justice system has the obligation to protect human rights of the accused, because an accused is treated as innocent before conviction under the provision of law. The right to life, right to liberty and right to a fair trial are the fundamental human rights of the accused. There is a genuine link between peace and human rights. This pursuit and preservation of peace and security of humankind, the first stated purpose of the United Nations, necessitate the protection and implementation of human rights, without which human rights cannot be effectively achieved.
