Die audiovisuelle Aufzeichnung strafprozessualer Einvernahmen

Overview & Synopsis

This dissertation deals with the recording of interrogations in Swiss criminal proceedings. First, the current legal framework and practice is presented. In doing so, various shortcomings of the written record and a lack of correction mechanisms are identified. After an in-depth examination of the compatibility of the current legal situation and practice with higher-ranking law, the conclusion is drawn that there is a right to audiovisual recording of interrogations. Based on this, existing legal remedies for enforcing the right to audiovisual recording of interrogations are presented. Finally, proposals for the implementation of a recording obligation are made.
