Abstract
The overall objective of Hamaiunova's study is to determine what criteria currently exist for assessing the observance of the right to a fair trial under Article 6 and what criteria and tests should be introduced, reflecting the introduction of mediation into the judicial system. Her PhD project includes both issues in human rights law as well as consideration of cultural and historical issues currently affecting legal rules in this area. It explores the potential need for reform of these legal norms. Her main research interests are legal culture, human rights, ADR and justice.
