الملخص الإنجليزي
This study addresses the topic of constitutional criminal guarantees in criminal
trials, within a comparative study framework with Egyptian legislation, highlighting the
position of comparative judiciary, especially the Supreme Constitutional Court of
Egypt and the European Court of Human Rights, within the limits necessary for
judicial comparisons. The importance of this study lies in shedding light on the
guarantees that the legislator must consider when achieving all the regulations
related to criminal trials at the trial stage.
The research problem of this study is to determine the adequacy of
constitutional criminal guarantees during the trial stage in Omani legislation compared
to the principles established by the European Court of Human Rights. It aims to
analyse the nature of the guarantees that the accused enjoys during the criminal trial
stage, and to determine whether the Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure,
and complementary criminal laws have fulfilled the legal guarantees for criminal trials
as stipulated in the Basic Law of the State, which ensure the rights and freedoms of
individuals, thus ensuring a legal trial for the parties involved in the public lawsuit.
This study is divided into a preliminary chapter to define the nature of criminal
trials, and two main chapters. The first chapter deals with the legal guarantees
related to the court, including an explanation of the principles related to the court at
the trial stage such as the principle of judicial independence, the principle of equality
before the law and the judiciary, and the principle of the publicity of criminal trial
procedures. The second chapter is dedicated to discussing the guarantees related
to the accused, identifying the most important ones, namely: the presumption of the
accused's innocence and the right to defence. The researcher adopted the
descriptive-analytical method and the comparative method in this study.
