THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTICLE IN THE UNIVERSAL L R I TON OF HUMAN <br />RIGHTS <br />I am doing my human rights essay on Article 11 1 and <br />Part (1) states that "Anyone who is charged with a penal offense <br />remains innocent until proven guiit "I picked this article <br />because I have an interest in the law, and also I wanted to write <br />about criminals or crime. I think that this article is good <br />because if someone is arrested for so-m t sing he didn't de, he has <br />a chance to be freed. Also if 8omeone does do something wrong that <br />is against the law, he has the right to a defense. I also believ <br />that it is good not to convict someone of a crime until after he <br />has been proven guilty. Theme are many factors that can come into <br />plan during any given act and until all the facts are laid out, <br />it is not right to accuse someone because it may be wrong. <br />Part of Article 11 states: Anyone who has committed a <br />crime which actually was not a crime at the tirne it was committed <br />cannot be held guilty of any penal offense and a heavier penalty <br />cannot be imposed than the one that was supposed to be given at <br />the time the crime was committed no matter what the penalty is at <br />the present tire* A heavier penalty may not be given just because <br />the judge did not like the person involved or was against hire <br />for any reason. what this means is that a person is entitled to a <br />fair trial and cannot be charged with a crime if it wasn't a. crime <br />at than :tire i .e nor; can he be given a heavier penalty than <br />was appropriate at the time the crime was committed. <br />b <br />Kurt Lindberg <br />
