Everyone charged with a penal
offence has the right to be presumed innocent
until proved guilty according to law in a public
trial at which he has had all the guarantees
necessary for his defense.
No one shall be held guilty of
any penal offence on account of any act or
omission which did not constitute a penal
offence, under national or international law, at
the time when it was committed. Nor shall a
heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was
applicable at the time the penal offence was
committed.
