Special bodies and summary procedures

89. In all cases where trade unionists have been the subject of measures or decisions emanating from bodies of a special nature, the Committee has emphasized the importance which it attaches to the guarantees of a normal judicial procedure.

(See the 1996 Digest, para. 120.)

90. The Committee has considered that, when trade unionists have been sentenced under summary procedures, they have not enjoyed all the safeguards of a normal procedure. Accordingly, the Committee has suggested that it should be possible to review cases of trade unionists sentenced under such procedures so as to ensure that no one is deprived of their liberty without the benefit of a normal procedure before an impartial and independent judicial authority.

(See the 1996 Digest, para. 121; and 337th Report, Case No. 2189, para. 476.)
