description This paper aims to present the witness's right to silence and the right to non-self-incrimination, with reference to the legal regulations, as they were interpreted in the jurisprudence of the ECHR, the Romanian Constitutional Court and the Romanian High Court of Cassation and Justice.

On the other hand, it is equally important to emphasize the solutions to which the application of this right may lead in practice, in the absence of an express regulation in Romanian law.
