It is against this background that measures have been taken to prevent or combat wrongful convictions. Thus, Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides for the right to a fair trial as well as compensation in the case of a miscarriage of justice. The BRICS nations have implemented measures at the national level to prevent or combat wrongful convictions before and during trial as well as after conviction.enCriminal lawMiscarriage of justicePost-appeal procedureCompensationBRICSBook
