Abstract

The article searches for concrete remedies for violation of the right to counsel, which could be considered “effective” in the meaning of Article 12 of the Directive 2013/48/EU. Article 12 obliges the Member States of the EU to guarantee effective remedies for violation of the rights deriving from the Directive, including the right to counsel. Yet no further guidelines for remedies that could be considered “effective” are given in the Directive. This article argues that due to the prominent status of the right to counsel among the defence rights, there are only a number of remedies that effectively cure its violation. The article discusses these remedies and makes a conclusion that in order to honour the right to counsel of all suspects and accused persons within the EU the Member States should promptly launch discussion on what extent could these remedies be concerted among them.
