HR #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.” (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml#a10)
This is important because without a fair, public hearing, people can and would be falsely accused and convicted of crimes they may, or may not have committed.
