Abstract:
According to various indices and testimony, the foundation of man can not
be that "innocence" and, assuming it manifests itself in the criminal law, it is
considered as a natural thing that goes in line with reason and reasoning .
Thus, we have regarded it as a universal principle, which has been approved by
all mankind, prior to its constitutional recognition .
All countries have devoted enormous efforts to protect its freedom and preserve
the society of law less ness and crime, because it is considered as absolutely baseless
While the world pays tribute to his triumph and transcendence .
The universal agreement which is enshrined in international declarations and
charters of statements Bill said that innocence is a crucial and fundamental principle
for an accused can defend it self and does not disappear with suspicion or accusation
itself .
It remains immanent to the legal person until trial, enriched by evidence to come
from actual incidents of crime .
Thus the accused have the right not to reveal the facts unfolded in order to
maintain their innocence at the defence .
While innocence is a legal status more to establish and lead the trial of the
accused to a fair and correct, it is mixed and even refused by
some individuals who see that society has the right to know the truth, revealing the
truth and to condemn criminals who have caused such facts harmful to society.
The accused is obliged to sympathize with the authorities and reveal the
unfolding events of the incident without any detour, knowing he is not obliged to
prove his innocence because he can use deception as a way so as not to reach the
truth during the different phases of criminal proceedings, and that he is given
according to individual freedom that the law gives him legally .
But during the various stages of legal condemnation there is a possibility where the
victim is not convinced by the outcome of the trial revealed, leading to the idea of an
individual likely revenge, which affects other person that 'Accused himself, and
thereby loses all the safeguards system according to the indictment .
The government authorities, whose role is reflected in the protection system in
society, must not encourage any possible without taking into consideration the
legislation to be in possession confessions of the accused according to the system of
investigation .
215
Thus the legal authorities involved in the research, finding, training and
judgement according to the criminal trial must take into account a primary objective,
which is the establishment of a system that focuses on the rights of 'Individual, at one
hand to be physically as well as privacy and the other hand give priority to
representing the interests of society, in order to avoid bewilderment and crime and
focus on the individual as such .
Noting that the Islamic religion is the first founding of these rights, and achieving
that balance is the divine right first, and that the assumption of 'clearance and the
origin of things permitted' and as a primordial principle which is based on the
Islamic system, which is strict and severe and is characterized by the vision of limits
and penalties in the various crimes that can harm society, according to the code of
morals or economic security by adopting contained and clear and which are similar to
the system of legal evidence which amounts only to the absolute authority of a judge
to be persuaded by the vision of the legislature. There is also the system of 'Taazir',
which in no way saying, is the one that is
Interested in human right which is in the situation abandonment of the trial, or entry
into agreement or reconciliation, and this is just the result
Achieved by persuasion of the judge during the trial .
As a result, the accused's right not to reveal reality, is regarded as a right to defend
itself, which comes necessarily an element of the prospect of innocence which must
protect the accused from any means of 'Physical or moral humiliation, torture
possible, or even putting in situations he disapproves derogatory or hypnosis yet its
submission to' lie detector ', and all this in order to obtain confessions of the accused,
something that is totally banned and challenged, because it results in a manner
unconscious, from the time the accused is affected by an effect outside as a product
hallucinating or 'lie detector' and so on. ... Bearing in mind that the desire to confess
the truth in the crime must come spontaneously because it is the foundation and the
basis of confessions as a conviction because the judge in possession of different ways
that will enable access the reality or the truth of the facts, but are not limited to their
own Confessions of the accused .
Thus, the accused's right not to reveal his confession made by the principle of the
prospect of original innocence .Il is regarded as a right of defence and can in no way
be ignored or banned during the criminal trial, but we can not apply an absolute
manner, because it s'affecte on one side by the various phases of criminal trial and
another quoted by the evidence essential to access to the facts; not to mention also the
degree of persuasion of the judge and his estimable authority and the privatization
and the sensitivity of certain crimes, knowing that this principle s'influence mainly
through every stage of criminal proceedings, and by the nature presented specific and
modifiable , The person at each phase of the trial .
216
And although this right is not attested by the legislature in the phase of research and
the finding, one can not find it compatible according to the principle of "the prospect
of innocence during all phases criminal proceedings " .
As a result, the judicial police officer is obliged to respect this principle of
legislation and the various determinants proposed by the legislature himself, the heart
of research and the finding, where it has imposed several guarantees the suspect
during his custody under the law No. 01-03 issued on 8/6/2001, which supplements
the law of criminal procedure in Article (51) bis of this law to outlaw torture and to
ensure the human right in the heart of this phase and not achieve the freedom
whatever the motive or reason, because at this stage the suspect is entitled by any of
the prospect of innocence because they have not yet been accused, but in a reasonable
manner it must be put on trial during this
phase for the following reasons:
1. The phase is not legal. .
2. The various suspicions that according to revolve around the possibility that
employers relate to personal liberty .
3. To achieve harmony in accordance with the law and reinsurance in during all
phases of trial.
But the legislator pointed out that right under Article (100) of the Criminal
Procedure Court to the pre-trial phase and considered it as a right of defence which
must necessarily be respected by the magistrate and reported in cases of absolute
requisition in case the accused continues to benefit from this right. The latter will
need a lot of insurance and guarantee to preserve their rights and prepare their
defence, and it turned out that this right is claimed in a non-negligible way in court
this phase as is a defence which allows the accused to prepare his defence knowing
that the magistrate, after completing the various procedures to give the accused the
opportunity to realize its right (the one not to reveal his confession), it continues
procedures for the investigation and all sorts of different application, pending
confirmation of the sentence appropriate at the end of trial by persuasion and what
could well be inferred through the course of events.
Regarding the phase of the trial, although it is characterized by the rights of
defence, we find that its organization and specific characteristic, namely the name of
discretion of the court, the pronunciation of the oral defense and confrontation
between different actors (accused and victim), is none other than a means Basic to
make the accused in an appropriate situation to disclose his confession and defends
his own person, because it is an inevitable phase trial.
The right of the accused not to mention the course of events is affected by the
principle of individual persuasion of the judge who can consider it as an accusation
as such, if the latter insists during this phase but it would harm to his post as a judge.
