"Everyone is entitled, in full equality, to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in determining his rights and obligations or any criminal charge against
him."
Explanation of Article 10
Like Article 9, Article 10 deals with basic rights in legal proceedings, not only in criminal cases, but also in civil disputes in which one person brings an action against another. The aim of
the article is to ensure that all persons appearing before a court of law are given a fair hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal. Everyone should be given a fair chance to present his
case and have it fairly judged.
