International Rights and Australian Adaptations: Recent Developments in Criminal Investigation
Abstract
To empower the "right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law", Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights identifies a range of "minimum guarantees" for suspects under investigation and for the accused at trial. Significant among these is that the suspect/accused is "not to be compelled to testify against himself or to confess guilt".
