Article 6 (Right to a fair trial)

Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees everyone the right to a fair trial. This means that anyone facing legal action has the right to be heard by an independent and impartial tribunal. They should have the opportunity to present their case, access legal assistance, and be informed of the charges against them. Trials should be public, and judgments must be made based on clear evidence. This article aims to ensure justice and protect individuals from arbitrary treatment by the state within the legal system.
