JUSTICE AT A CLICK AWAY: IDEOCONFERENCING AND FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES IN PROCEDURAL MATTERS

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the impact of videoconferencing on the judicial system, highlighting both its advantages and challenges. The digitalisation of justice improves citizens' access to trials, especially for those with mobility difficulties or living in remote areas, but can amplify existing digital inequalities. In addition, issues related to data security and privacy protection arise, given the risks associated with virtual hearings. It is also essential for courts to uphold the principle of publicity, balancing public access with the confidentiality of sensitive information. Finally, the adaptation of justice to technology must respect the fundamentals of law, ensuring that it is committed to essential human values.
