On The Web (HRI): For those who may be unaware of the importance of interpreters, see Article 6.3 of the European Convention on Human Rights: “Everyone charged with a criminal offence has the following minimum rights: (a) to be informed promptly, in a language which he understands and in detail, of the nature and cause of the accusation against him; […]
(e) to have the free assistance of an interpreter if he cannot understand or speak the language used in court.”
