About the event

The presumption of innocence is a fundamental right that protects individuals accused of crimes, ensuring they are treated as innocent until proven guilty. This core principle, rooted in Article 48(1) of the EU Charter and the European Convention on Human Rights, is crucial for fair trials and human dignity.

In our upcoming group discussion, we’ll explore:

• The impact of Directive 2016/343 on the presumption of innocence
• Key updates from CJEU case law and their relevance for legal practitioners
• Practical challenges in applying these principles in real-world cases

Simultaneous interpretation available in French and Polish.

Who should join: Legal professionals in criminal law, procedural rights, and those working with cross-border cases.

The event is part of the DIGICRIM project, which is co-funded by the European Union and is being implemented by EIPA Luxembourg – European Centre for Judges and Lawyers (ECJL) in partnership with KSSIP – Krajowa Szkola Sadownictwa I Prokuratury in Poland.
