Judge Roland Dahn Since the close of the 8th United Nations Congress adopted in 1990, state actors agreed on this basic principle that says, “All persons are entitled to call upon the assistance of a lawyer of their choice to protect and establish their rights and to defend them in all stages of criminal proceeding.”   The basic principle further places responsibility upon the government and the legal profession to ensure that everyone has access to counsel, regardless of means or background, to protect the right to equality before the law.  In adherence to this international obligation, Associate Justice Yussif Kaba, the chairman of the Judicial Inquiry Commission (JIC), is now placing the responsibility on his commission to provide a lawyer for Hans Armstrong, a British national, to represent him in the ongoing investigation of Judge Roland Dahn of the 8th Judicial Circuit Court in Nimba County.
