Artikel 47 - Recht op een doeltreffende voorziening in rechte en op een onpartijdig gerecht

Artikel 47 - Recht op een doeltreffende voorziening in rechte en op een onpartijdig gerecht

Eenieder wiens door het recht van de Unie gewaarborgde rechten en vrijheden zijn geschonden, heeft recht op een doeltreffende voorziening in rechte, met inachtneming van de in dit artikel gestelde voorwaarden. Eenieder heeft recht op een eerlijke en openbare behandeling van zijn zaak, binnen een redelijke termijn, door een onafhankelijk en onpartijdig gerecht dat vooraf bij wet is ingesteld. Eenieder heeft de mogelijkheid zich te laten adviseren, verdedigen en vertegenwoordigen. Rechtsbijstand wordt verleend aan degenen die niet over toereikende financiële middelen beschikken, voor zover die bijstand noodzakelijk is om de daadwerkelijke toegang tot de rechter te waarborgen.

  • Text:

    De eerste alinea is gebaseerd op artikel 13 van het EVRM:

    `Eenieder wiens rechten en vrijheden die in dit Verdrag zijn vermeld, zijn geschonden, heeft recht op een daadwerkelijk rechtsmiddel voor een nationale instantie, ook indien deze schending is begaan door personen in de uitoefening van hun ambtelijke functie.`.

    Het recht van de Unie biedt echter een ruimere bescherming omdat het een recht op een doeltreffende voorziening in rechte waarborgt. Het Hof van Justitie heeft dit recht erkend als een algemeen beginsel van het recht van de Unie in zijn arrest van 15 mei 1986, Johnston, zaak 222/84, Jurispr. 1986, blz. 1651; zie ook de arresten van 15 oktober 1987 in zaak 222/86, Heylens, Jurispr. 1987, blz. 4097, en van 3 december 1992 in zaak C-97/91, Borelli, Jurispr. 1992, blz. I-6313. Volgens het Hof is dit algemene beginsel van het recht van de Unie eveneens van toepassing op de lidstaten wanneer zij het recht van de Unie toepassen. De verwerking van deze jurisprudentie in het Handvest had niet tot doel het systeem van rechterlijke toetsing van de verdragen, met name de ontvankelijkheidsregels voor rechtstreekse beroepen bij het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie, te wijzigen. De Europese Conventie heeft het mechanisme van de Unie voor rechterlijke toetsing en met name de ontvankelijkheidsregels bekeken, en heeft deze overgenomen, met enkele wijzigingen wat bepaalde aspecten betreft, zoals blijkt uit de artikelen 251 tot en met 281 van het Verdrag betreffende de werking van de Europese Unie, en in het bijzonder uit artikel 263, vierde alinea. Artikel 47 geldt ten aanzien van de instellingen van de Unie en de lidstaten wanneer deze het Unierecht toepassen en voor alle rechten die worden gewaarborgd door het Unierecht.

    De tweede alinea correspondeert met artikel 6, lid 1, van het EVRM, dat als volgt luidt:

    `Bij het vaststellen van zijn burgerlijke rechten en verplichtingen of bij het bepalen van de gegrondheid van een tegen hem ingestelde vervolging heeft eenieder recht op een eerlijke en openbare behandeling van zijn zaak, binnen een redelijke termijn, door een onafhankelijk en onpartijdig gerecht dat bij de wet is ingesteld. De uitspraak moet in het openbaar worden gewezen maar de toegang tot de rechtszaal kan aan de pers en het publiek worden ontzegd, gedurende de gehele terechtzitting of een deel daarvan, in het belang van goede zeden, van de openbare orde of nationale veiligheid in een democratische samenleving, wanneer de belangen van minderjarigen of de bescherming van het privé-leven van procespartijen dit eisen of, in die mate als door de rechter onder bijzondere omstandigheden strikt noodzakelijk wordt geoordeeld, wanneer de openbaarheid de belangen van een behoorlijke rechtspleging zou schaden.`.
    In het recht van de Unie is het recht op toegang tot de rechter niet alleen van toepassing op geschillen inzake civielrechtelijke rechten en verplichtingen. Dit is een consequentie van het feit dat de Unie een rechtsgemeenschap is, zoals het Hof heeft geconstateerd in zaak 294/83, Les Verts tegen Europees Parlement (arrest van 23 april 1986, Jurispr. 1986, blz. 1339). Met uitzondering van de werkingssfeer zijn de door het EVRM geboden waarborgen op dezelfde wijze van toepassing in de Unie.

    Met betrekking tot de derde alinea zij erop gewezen dat volgens de jurisprudentie van het Europees Hof voor de rechten van de mens in rechtsbijstand moet worden voorzien wanneer de garantie van een doeltreffende voorziening in rechte wegens het ontbreken van die bijstand ontwricht zou worden (Arrest EHRM van 9 oktober 1979, Airey, Série A, volume 32, blz. 11). Er bestaat ook een rechtsbijstandregeling voor het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie.

    Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
    Deze toelichtingen werden oorspronkelijk opgesteld onder de verantwoordelijkheid van het praesidium van de Conventie die het Handvest van de grondrechten van de Europese Unie heeft opgesteld. Zij zijn bijgewerkt onder de verantwoordelijkheid van het praesidium van de Europese Conventie, in het licht van de wijzigingen die door laatstgenoemde Conventie in het Handvest zijn aangebracht (met name in artikel 51 en 52) en van verdere ontwikkelingen in het recht van de Unie. Hoewel zij op zich geen juridische waarde hebben, vormen zij een waardevol hulpmiddel voor de interpretatie, bedoeld om de bepalingen van het Handvest te verduidelijken.
