摘要
The presumption of innocence is currently generating considerable interest. The presumption of innocence encompasses the right to be treated as an innocent person. This means that no punishment is to be undergone before conviction and that coercive measures are to be used with restraint. Beccaria's Dei delitti e delle pene (1764) is the source of this interpretation. He related the effect of the principle to pre-trial detention and torture. The word innocence would not do justice to the power to use coercive measures on the basis of a suspicion. Art. 5 (3) of the European Convention on Human Rights does not give us any firm criteria to limit pre-trial detention, relegates the presumption of innocence even more to the background.
