SOME ASPECTS REGARDING THE CONTESTATION REGARDING THE DURATION OF THE CRIMINAL TRIAL IN ROMANIA

Abstract

The need to ensure procedural guarantees regarding the respect of individual rights and freedoms during a criminal trial brings together the will of the legislator to regulate through criminal procedural provisions the smooth conduct of the criminal trial with the practical possibility of solving criminal cases by the judicial bodies, respecting the attributions conferred by law according to their competence. This objective could only be fulfilled by regulating new principles that would ensure the conduct of the criminal process by separating judicial functions, by speeding up procedures and resolving criminal cases brought to trial within a reasonable time, respecting the right to freedom and safety, based on the evidence administered in good faith, excluding evidence obtained illegally.
