Less than an hour
Intermediate

Course details

This e-Capsule focuses on Article 48 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (EU) (the Charter), which guarantees the presumption of innocence and the right to a defence. It explores the scope and interpretation of these rights through relevant legal instruments and key judgments from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

Target audience

This e-Capsule is designed to provide justice professionals, particularly judges, prosecutors and lawyers, with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of presumption of innocence and the right to defence as enshrined in Article 48 of the Charter, and their practical implications.

Learning objectives

By the end of this e-Capsule you should be able to:
  • Understand the scope of the presumption of innocence and analyse its connection to other rights, such as the right to dignity.
  • Identify and explain the type of procedural guarantees that should be awarded during national proceedings to exercise these rights.
  • Recognise how these rights apply across various types of proceedings.

Offered by

This content is offered by the European Commission. The European Commission is the European Union's politically independent executive arm. It is alone responsible for drawing up proposals for new European legislation, and it implements the decisions of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
