In many countries, trials are used as instruments of oppression to silence and target human rights defenders and other critics of governments and businesses. Microsoft announced a partnership with Clooney Foundation for Justice (CFJ) to help advance human rights through TrialWatch, a programme that trains and equips trial monitors to document and determine whether trials are conducted in a fair way. Microsoft  developers worked with CFJ to incorporate artificial intelligence into the programme, that will make human monitors and judicial experts more effective. CFJ, together with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Columbia Law School and the American Bar Association, works to expose injustices and create pressure on nations to change. TrialWatch website is available below.
