PROCEDURAL ASPECT OF A FAIR TRIAL OF CRIMINAL CASE IN THE LIGHT OF CERTAIN DECISIONS OF THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

Abstract

The article attempts to uncover some procedural aspects of a fair trial in criminal cases according to the legal positions of the ECHR. The right to a fair trial of criminal cases, as enshrined in Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, is addressed to an individual - the subject (one of the parties) of the trial. However, other participants in the proceedings (such as judges, prosecutors, victims) cannot claim independent rights under Article 6. Procedural aspects of the administration of justice are represented by a number of elements: public hearing, reasonable period of time, fair trial.
