Dreptul acuzatului de a nu se autoincrimina

Abstract

The right of the accused not to incriminate himself is not expressly regulated in the ECHR, although it is a guarantee and an essential element of a fair trial, as a result of the presumption of innocence. This privilege protects the accused from unlawful action by law enforcement bodies, ensures that they are informed of the existence of this right and declares inadmissible evidence that has been acquired contrary to the law.
