THE IMPACT OF THE ECHR JURISPRUDENCE ON THE ROMANIAN CRIMINAL PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: The jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has had a significant impact on the Romanian criminal process, bringing it into line with European standards in the protection of fundamental rights. The decisions of the ECHR have influenced multiple aspects of the judicial system, generating major legislative and procedural changes. This influence has led to the adoption of important reforms, such as the 2014 Code of Criminal Procedure, the empowerment of judicial authorities and the development of a domestic jurisprudence more aligned with the principles of the ECHR. Although progress is visible, the continued implementation of these standards remains a priority for strengthening the rule of law and protecting fundamental rights in Romania (Coman, 2017, p. 10).
