<p>We offer impartial and non-judgmental help to British nationals detained overseas
according to individual circumstances and local conditions. We provide a list of local
English speaking lawyers and encourage detainees to consider legal representation
in all cases. We continue to advocate for worldwide acceptance of, and adherence to,
international human rights standards including the right to a fair trial, even when
a state is not party to a particular human rights treaty. If British nationals are
not treated in line with internationally-accepted standards, we will consider approaching
local authorities.</p>
