Article 10. Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.

The Commission for Racial Equality is a publicly funded, non-governmental body set up under the Race Relations Act 1976 to tackle racial discrimination and promote racial equality. It works in both the public and private sectors to encourage fair treatment and to promote equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their race, colour, nationality, or national or ethnic origin. It provides information and advice to people who think they have suffered racial discrimination or harassment. It works with public bodies, businesses, and organisations from all sectors to promote policies and practices that will help to ensure equal treatment for all. It runs campaigns to raise awareness of race issues, and encourage organisations and individuals to play their part in creating a just society. It makes sure that all new laws take full account of the Race Relations Act and the protection it gives against discrimination.
