IMPROVING EFFICIENCY OF COURTS AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS BY SMART AV RECORDING SYSTEM

Dragan Vujovic, Aleksandar Gracanac, Andrej Spirkovski

Abstract


The right to a fair trial is at the top of the human rights hierarchy in all democracies. In the past, primarily due to a lack of modern technical solutions that are available today, it was difficult to ensure a fair trial, as well as to check the correctness of the decision made in the courtroom if necessary. Today, audio/video recording of the court hearings is implied in many developed countries worldwide, precisely because of the transparency of the processes in which important decisions concerning human rights and freedoms are made, all with the goal of justice being absolutely and uncompromisingly served. The goal of this research is to present the solution for the development and integration of a secure and accessible ICT smart system primarily intended for recording court hearings, but also recording for any established legal institutions that need for it, such as prosecutors' offices, police stations, social work centers, shareholders' assemblies, notary offices, etc. As far as joint-stock companies are concerned, such a system would ensure the necessary transparency in companies and facilitate the successful implementation of all other elements of corporate governance.
