Australian Cases before International Courts and Tribunals Involving Questions of Public International Law 2007 Chester Brown, Jacqueline Mowbray, Tim Stephens and Brett Williams Human Rights Right of equality before the courts — whether defendant has right to attend appellate hearing Lucy Dudko v Australia Communication No 1347/2005 UN Doc CCPR/C/90/D/1347/2005 (2007) Human Rights Committee Views adopted on 23 July 2007 The author of the communication was convicted of offences in connection with the hijacking of a helicopter on a tourist flight over Sydney in order to secure the escape of an inmate of Silverwater prison. In her appeal to the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal the author alleged that she was not the hijacker and that pre-trial publicity had created prejudice in the minds of some of the jurors and resulted in a miscarriage of justice. The Court of Criminal Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that appropriate directions were given to the jury at the author’s trial to ensure that the jury could perform its duty in assessing the evidence before it. The author unsuccessfully applied for legal aid in support of her application to the High Court of Australia for leave to appeal from the decision
