The two-day seminar, organized in cooperation of the CEELI Institute and the Association of Croatian Judges, is designed for active criminal judges from EU member countries, focusing on the application of EU instruments in criminal justice, and providing access to the full extent of rights guaranteed by EU law. Specifically, this course focuses on Directive 2013/48/EU on the right of access to a lawyer in criminal proceedings, and Directive (EU) 2016/343 on the strengthening of certain aspects of the presumption of innocence and of the right to be present at the trial in a criminal proceeding. A portion of the training will also be used to discuss the impact of “hate crime” legislation, by addressing Council Framework Decision 2008/913/JHA, which deals with combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia by means of criminal law.
The module will also cover the understanding and application of the provisions of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, as relevant, to the issues and cases, they confront in their national courts.
Main areas of focus:
-Application of the provisions of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU
-Directive 2013/48/EU on the right of access to a lawyer in criminal proceedings
-Directive (EU) 2016/343 on the strengthening of certain aspects of the presumption of innocence.
