Abstract

Abstract The European Convention on Human Rights and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights have a significant impact not only on national legal order but also on international criminal courts. The article is dedicated to analyzing that impact in the context of the right to legal assistance. We ascertain the purpose of the establishment of international criminal courts, the specificity of the right to legal assistance in the European system of human rights protection, the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights on the drafting of statutes of the international criminal courts and influence of the European Convention on Human Rights and case-law of the European Court of Human Rights on the interpretation of the right to legal assistance in the international criminal courts. Also the primacy of the right to legal assistance is proved, which is provided in the ECHR to the statutes of international criminal courts. At the same time, the international criminal courts, taking into account the purpose of their establishment and jurisdiction, give additional guarantees of the right to legal assistance.

摘要《欧洲人权公约》和欧洲人权法院的判例法不仅对国家法律秩序，而且对国际刑事法院都产生了重大影响。本文致力于从法律援助权的角度分析这种影响。我们确定了建立国际刑事法院的目的、欧洲人权保护体系中获得法律援助权利的特殊性，《欧洲人权公约》对起草国际刑事法院规约的影响，以及《欧洲人权条约》和欧洲人权法院判例法对国际刑事法院法律援助权解释的影响。此外，《欧洲人权公约》对国际刑事法院规约规定了获得法律援助的权利的首要地位。与此同时，国际刑事法院考虑到其设立的目的和管辖权，为获得法律援助的权利提供了额外的保障。
