Equality before courts (14(1)); fair, public hearing by competent, independent, impartial tribunal (14(1)); presumption of innocence (14(2)); minimum guarantees (14(3)) — notification, time/facilities, counsel, witnesses, interpreter, no self-incrimination; juvenile justice (14(4)); right to appeal (14(5)); right to compensation on miscarriage of justice (14(6)); ne bis in idem (double jeopardy bar, 14(7)). 3.
