The purpose of this provision is for the accused to be provided with all information necessary to prepare his\/her defence, and not to be taken by surprise by the conduct of the prosecution; therefore, this obligation is more comprehensive than the one stated in Article 5, paragraph 2 of the ECHR.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1389 <\/sup><\/span>The differing scope of the obligations to give information, under Article 5, paragraph 2 and Article 6, paragraph 3(a) and (b) of the ECHR, may be relevant if the accused, who is already in pre-trial detention, prior to the issuance of an indictment against him\/her, has requested to inspect documentation. This does not apply at a later stage though, after the indictment is issued.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1390<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">It is considered that an individual has been accused for a certain criminal act as soon as significant steps and actions have been taken against him\/her.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1391 <\/sup><\/span>In so doing, it is necessary to provide him\/her with information as to the type of indictment, that is to say about the criminal act he\/she has been charged with, as well as about the reasons for issuing the indictment, that is about the facts on which a reasonable suspicion is based.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1392 <\/sup><\/span>Also, it is necessary to provide reasoning as to the legal nature of complaints incriminating the individual.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1393<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">When it comes to the assessment and interpretation of the term \u201cpromptness\u201d, the moment of arrest is not considered relevant, as is the case with Article 5, paragraph 2 of the ECHR, but the moment of bringing the first indictment against the respective person.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1394 <\/sup><\/span>For that reason, the arrested person does not have to be promptly informed, i.e., in the very arrest warrant, of the charges against him\/her, but within the shortest time possible.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1395 <\/sup><\/span>The ECHR protects the accused person also from unannounced and unexpected substantial amendments to the indictment, as in such cases where the accused is not in a position to defend himself\/herself in an appropriate manner against such objections; this shall also apply when the court, based on the domestic positive procedural regulations, is not bound by the indictment, i.e., by its legal definition.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1396<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">When it comes to language, the BiH Constitutional Court takes as a starting point the equality of all three official languages (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian). If the case concerns a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, whereby one or more of the official languages in BiH are being used, the suspect, i.e., the accused, in principle, shall not be entitled to a court interpreter. Namely, the BiH Constitutional Court assumes that all three domestic languages are easily understood.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1397 <\/sup><\/span>If other languages are concerned, the court, as a rule, uses its interpreters, as this protects the already proven quality of translations, the independence and impartiality of the court.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1398 <\/sup><\/span>However, if the court uses an interpreter \u201cfrom outside\u201d, for instance, an International Police Task Force UN (IPTF) translator, for the translation of a witness statement in a previous proceeding,<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1399 <\/sup><\/span>or a an interpreter engaged by the accused for the interpretation during the main trial,<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1400 <\/sup><\/span>the rights of the suspect, i.e., of the accused may be violated only if proven that the interpreter, i.e., translator has translated wrongly, or if there are grounds for his\/her impartiality to be brought into question. As already said, the burden of proving lies on the suspect, i.e., on the accused.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>1401<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AP 1030\/04 Shunlong 20051013 AP 105\/03 A.
