abstract
The principle “ne bis in idem” declares a right of person not to be trial or punished again for the same offence. It is one of the fundamental human rights guaranteed not only by national Jaws but also by the international laws such as article 4 of the 7th Protocol to the European Convention for the Protection of Human rights and Fundamental Freedoms. All the guaranties are mostly focused only on national consequences of principle ne bis in idem. But as to the aim and sense of principle ne bis in idem it is not difference between inner state decision and foreign decision. Over and above, such a restriction of the effects of this principle means to obstruct the right of free movement of EU citizen in the territory of EU. The articles 54–58 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement tried to solve thus conflict of jurisdictions. The author of article tries to describe the sense of the principle ne bis in idem and its declaration in the law inside and outside of European Union. The work is focused mainly on the aspects of this principle inside EU showing the recent stage as well as the proposals and unrealized projects. There is also presented the view of European Court of EC on the article 54 in its decisions (C-469/03; joined Cases C-187/01 and C-385/01). The author gives serious consideration to the harmonization of the Czech Code of criminal procedure with the EU law in the aspect of principle ne bis in idem.
