المدة المعقولة في الإجراءات الجزائية

Abstract EN

The problem of the slow pace of criminal proceedings hinders the progress of criminal justice, since slow justice is a form of injustice.

Therefore, in the majority of legislations, the national legislator sought to expedite the dismissal of the case, without prejudice to the rights of the defense.

Fast Trial Criminal proceedings are a fundamental right of the accused because he has a constitutional right to a fair and impartial trial, which is an inherent constitutional right that is outside the right of litigation and is closely related to it.

The first is to take action against the accused to reach the truth and to sign punishment to achieve deterrence.

The second is to give the parties to the case, especially the accused as the most dangerous center of the case, several guarantees, most notably that these measures are taken In a reasonable manner so as not to prolong the proceedings.

Hence, the problem of research is the lack of sufficient attention by the Iraqi legislator and a lot of legislation with the rules of reasonable duration, which, if any, are scattered in the framework of procedural laws, without trying to make them within the framework of one chapter of the law, It is missing a large shortage, so we highlighted the most important applications or manifestations of this important guarantee.
