Legal Framework
- Independence of Justice

The constitution (article 129) and law of Burkina Faso prohibit arbitrary arrest and detention, and provide for an independent judiciary. According to NGOs, however, the judiciary is still corrupt, inefficient, and subject to executive influence. The law presumes defendants are innocent. Defendants have the right to be informed promptly and in detail of the charges.
