Abstract

The right to a fair trial as stipulated in Article 6 of the Convention for the Protection
of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms encompasses in itself several principles among
which is the principle of equality of arms. Having in mind the request for the criminal procedure
to be fair, which implies the principle of equality of arms to be respected, the paper will focus on
two Macedonian cases – the Case of Stoimenov and the Case of Duško Ivanovski. In addition,
the paper will focus on the relevant documents and judgements, and will pay a special attention
to the Court’s statement in which it recalls that the principle of equality of arms is part of the
wider concept of a fair hearing within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1. Namely, it requires
a “fair balance” between the parties: each party must be afforded a reasonable opportunity to
present their case under conditions that do not place them at a disadvantage vis-à-vis their
opponent or opponents.
