In this context, this dissertation brings to the fore a discussion on the new paradigms directed toward securing the basic right to a speedy trial. The delay of the agencies of the Public Administration and the Judicial Power in providing effective protection to the parts, in good time, is a serious problem to be solved currently, especially by reason of: the accumulation of processes, the effect of the globalization without the proportional investment in the computerization of the Public Power, the dwindling of resources destined to the Judicial Power, more efficient laws, amongst other factors. To characterize such problem, a parallel has been drawn regarding the conception of the speedy trial as a basic right of the human being, prior and subsequent to the Constitutional Amendment n.º 45, of 12-31-2004, that introduced clause LXXVIII to the Article 5º of the Federal Constitution of 1988, which assured a reasonable duration of proceedings as a basic constitutional norm and a right of the human being. Based on the analysis of this comparative picture, illustrated with up-to-date, innovative jurisprudence regarding the implementation of speedy trial, whose results are timely to the parts involved and, therefore, observant of the principles of Justice, change has been noticed in the paradigms in the Brazilian society and reconstruction of the ways to grant effective guarantee to the human rights. Therefore, it has been observed that it is time to change, time to make the process more swift for the benefit of the human being itself and for the common good of society, of which the former is a member, thus meeting the principle of the dignity of the human being in all sectors / A Constituição Federal de 1988 é um marco, como documento protetor do princípio da dignidade humana, fundamento da existência e da proteção dos direitos humanos. Neste contexto, esta dissertação traz à baila uma discussão sobre novos paradigmas voltados à concretização do direito fundamental da celeridade processual. A morosidade dos órgãos da Administração Pública e do Poder Judiciário na prestação de uma tutela efetiva às partes, em tempo útil e justo, é um problema sério a ser sanado atualmente, sobretudo em razão: do acúmulo de processos, dos efeitos da globalização sem o proporcional investimento na informatização do Poder Público, da defasagem de recursos destinados ao Poder Judiciário, de leis mais eficazes, dentre outros fatores. Para dimensionar tal problema foi feito um paralelo a respeito da concepção da celeridade processual, como direito fundamental do ser humano, anterior e posterior à Emenda Constitucional n.º 45, de 31-12-2004, que introduziu o inciso LXXVIII ao Artigo 5º, da Constituição Federal de 1988, preceito este que explicitou a celeridade processo como norma constitucional e direito fundamental do ser humano. Pautado na análise deste quadro comparativo, ilustrado com jurisprudências atualizadas e inovadoras referentes à implementação do princípio da celeridade processual, cujos resultados são medidas tempestivas às partes e, portanto, observadores dos princípios de Justiça, verificou-se mudança de paradigma na sociedade brasileira e reconstrução dos meios de conceder efetiva garantia aos direitos humanos. Observou-se, assim, que é tempo de mudança, tempo de tornar o processo mais célere em prol, tanto do ser humano em si considerado como do bem comum da sociedade, da qual aquele é membro, atendendo, assim, ao princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana em todos os setores

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa guarantees every person a fair trial; the right to a fair trial right trial must begin and conclude within a reasonable time and without undue delay. Internationally the same guarantees and protections are available to unconvicted suspects. However, the South African criminal justice system lacks behind internationally and falls short of promoting these guarantees. Investigation was done on delays in commencing and finalising trials in light of constitutional provisions, the consequence and the impact of the delay with discussion on prison conditions and overcrowding with reference to the Constitutiton, legislation and case law. Delayed trial, prison overcrowding and poor prison conditions are still an issue in South Africa and there needs to be positive change to enforce and practice prescribed directives. South Africa‟s justice system through its servants, need to do more to gain a higher status of having a constitutionally democratic country that fully promotes‟ rights of detainees. / Criminal & Procedural Law / LLM
