The third two-day online training on legal reasoning and legal drafting in criminal cases with the consideration of the European Human Rights Court’s case law and decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina is organised on 25 and 26 June 2020. The webinar has been designed to address the needs of judges and judicial assistants who, in the process of domestic adjudication, are required to refer to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.

The duty of courts to give sufficient reasons for their decisions is enshrined in Article 6. 1 of the European Convention of Human Rights - Right to a Fair Trial. Therefore, the training on reasoning of criminal judgements explores the obligations of domestic courts concerning the extent and content of the reasoning they provide when deciding domestic cases.

The training is led by an experienced judge-trainer and a certified trainer, who completed the Training of Trainers course held in 2019 within the project.

This activity is organised cooperation with the Judicial and Prosecutorial Training Centres of Republika Srpska and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The training is organised under the project: “Initiative for Legal Certainty and Efficient Judiciary in Bosnia and Herzegovina” funded by the Kingdom of Norway.
