    Credibility and truthfulness as fundamental normative attributes of testimony provided by a cooperating person in criminal proceedings
    (HACCP Consulting : Nitrianske Hrnčiarovce, 2026) Bejdová, Zuzana; Lacyková, Kristína
    The cooperating person represents a fully legitimate procedural institute within the Slovak criminal justice system; however, testimony obtained through cooperation is inherently burdened by the individual’s personal criminal-law interest arising from the expectation of procedural or substantive benefits. This structural characteristic raises serious concerns regarding the evidentiary strength, epistemic value, and permissible limits of reliance on such testimony in criminal proceedings. The article examines the conceptual distinction between credibility and truthfulness as fundamental normative attributes of testimony provided by cooperating persons. While credibility traditionally dominates judicial assessment, it does not necessarily guarantee correspondence with objective reality, particularly where testimony is motivated by anticipated advantages. The authors analyse recent legislative developments introduced by Act No. 416/2025 Coll., which amended the Code of Criminal Procedure by transforming truthfulness from a predominantly epistemic criterion into an explicit normative condition governing the admissibility of cooperation-based evidence. Through doctrinal legal analysis, normative interpretation of statutory provisions, and examination of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, the article evaluates whether the Slovak legal framework adequately addresses the evidentiary risks inherent in motivated testimony. Particular attention is devoted to the requirement of independent corroboration and to the interaction between truthfulness as a threshold condition of admissibility and credibility as a subsequent evaluative criterion. The authors conclude that the legislative emphasis on truthfulness constitutes a necessary corrective to the traditional reliance on credibility alone and strengthens safeguards against convictions based on unverified or distorted testimony. At the same time, the article assesses the compatibility of the national regulation with the requirements of a fair trial under Article 6(1) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and contributes to the broader discourse on the evidentiary limits of cooperation-based testimony in criminal proceedings.

    The right to interpretation and translation as a procedural safeguard of the right to a fair trial in the jurisprudence of the ECtHR and the CJEU
    (Vytauto Didžiojo Universitetas : Kaunas, 2025) Bilasová, Bianka; Lacyková, Kristína; Bejdová, Zuzana
    This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the right to a fair trial with a particular focus on the right to interpretation and translation as a fundamental procedural safeguard. It examines the multi-layered protection of this right at the international, supranational, and national levels, highlighting the key legal frameworks, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Special attention is given to the procedural guarantees enshrined in Article 6(3)(e) ECHR and Directive 2010/64/EU, and to the obligations of public authorities and courts to ensure timely and effective interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings. The study explores the practical challenges in securing these rights, particularly in the context of pre-trial detention and the execution of custodial sentences in the Slovak Republic. It addresses the legal distinction between formal procedural rights and the linguistic rights of foreign nationals in detention settings, and examines the role of ombudsman institutions in monitoring compliance. The article also reflects de lege ferenda on possible legislative and practical measures, such as the use of English as an auxiliary language upon admission to detention and the deployment of electronic translation tools, aimed at improving the protection of fair trial rights in an increasingly multilingual and diverse society. The research applies a combination of doctrinal legal analysis, comparative method, and case-law study, complemented by analytical and synthetic approaches to evaluate existing legal frameworks, identify shortcomings in practice, and formulate recommendations for reform.
