مصادر مبدأ البراءة المفترضة

Abstract EN

The principle of presumed innocence is the pillar of procedural legitimacy that has been enshrined in many civilized constitutions .

it is also considered one of the the pillars of human rights .

it is rightly considered one of the main guarantees for protecting personal freedom and safeguarding the rights of the suspect and the accused .

Our discussion of the sources of the principle of presumed innocence leads us to the question about the basis of the principle , the source of its binding power , and to what extent it can achieve its goal .

And if we discussed the same problem , we concluded that there are internal and other external sources for the principle of presumed innocence , which are represented in islamic law , international and regional charters and declarations , as well as constitutions and internal laws of countries .

And that these sources are a tool to ensure that the principle is applied in its finest form .

Also , in support of that ample guarantee of the principle , more penal texts criminalizing breach of principle and civil provisions that enshrine the right to compensation for violating the principle should be codified .
