samenvatting | This article examines the contribution which the European Court of Human Rights has made to the development of interrogational fairness at the pre-trial phase in modern European criminal proceedings. Although the Convention contains no explicit reference to the right to remain silent and the privilege against self-incrimination, the Court, drawing its rationale from Article 6 of the Convention, has been steadily developing its distinctive vision of these immunities in an attempt to create a doctrine that sets a limit below which contracting parties should not allow their legal systems |
