Ivory Coast
Index
The Constitution of Côte d'Ivoire establishes a legal
basis for
the Ivoirian criminal justice system. The right to a fair
public
trial is guaranteed by law, and that right generally was
respected
in urban areas. In rural areas, traditional justice often
substituted for formal criminal law. By law, defendants
are
entitled to legal counsel, and the court is supposed to
appoint
lawyers for the indigent; however, attorneys were often
not
available.
