PRACTICE NOTES
Article 6 ECHR: Engagement, Civil/Criminal Limbs, Access to Court, Fair Trial Elements, Implied Rights, Minimum Criminal Safeguards, Privilege Against Self-incrimination, Limitations, Waiver and Arbitration
Article 6
Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the ‘ECHR’) provides that:
When a person’s civil rights and obligations are being decided, or any criminal charge against them is considered, every person is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by a tribunal established by law that is independent and impartial. Judgment must be given publicly, but the press and public can be excluded from all or part of the hearing in a democratic society in the interests of morals, public order or national security, where the interests of juveniles or safeguarding the parties’ private life so require, or, in the court’s opinion, to the strictly necessary extent in special circumstances where publicity would prejudice the interests of justice.
Everyone charged with a criminal offence is presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.
