Abstract:
This article tackles the question: can the Presumption of Innocence (PoI) be a presumption? Whereas many criminal law theorists rejection such a notion, I draw inspiration from argumentation theorists and philosophers—in particular, Petar Bodlović and Edna Ullmann-Margalit—and argue in favour of it; indeed, argumentation theory often holds the PoI out as a paradigmatic presumption. My argument proceeds in three sections. I first show that criminal law theorists writing on the PoI have understood presumptions as evidentiary devices in the form of a modus ponens. On that understanding, the PoI cannot be a presumption. Attention is then drawn to the field of argumentation theory, which teaches us that there are other types of presumptions that are non-evidentiary, not in the form of a modus ponens, require a tentative commitment to q, and require an agent to proceed (act) as if q; viz practical presumptions. The PoI can be understood as such. Finally, it is argued that the PoI, insofar as it requires a tentative commitment to q (here, ‘the defendant is innocent’), can be thought of as a propositional imagining of q (ie, an agent presuming innocence is to propositionally imagine the defendant's innocence).

Abstract:
The essence of the presumption of innocence does not consist in the fact that the accused, as a rule, is innocent, but it assumes that as long as we do not have a definitive sentence of conviction, there is no legally guilty person of committing the crime. The importance of this rule for the construction and democratic functioning of the criminal process, as well as for the defense of persons held criminally liable, is difficult to overestimate. The person’s guilt is not considered proven and he cannot be recognized as guilty of committing the crime and, respectively, subject to any restrictions on his rights, except for those related to the investigation of the criminal case, the grounds and order of application of which are strictly regulated by law. Introduction the presumption of innocence in the Code of Criminal Procedure as a general principle did not by itself remove all the deficiencies regarding the proper application of this principle in the practical activity of law enforcement bodies. This is not only due to the lack of desire of the participants in the process to comply with the rules derived from this principle, thus complicating the activity of research and discovery of crimes, but also due to reasons of improper perception, distorted of its essence. The correct understanding and interpretation of the essence and peculiarities of the presumption of innocence, the problems related to its application, is impossible without an incursion into the matter of legal presumptions and without determining the place of the presumption of innocence in their complex system.

Abstract:
The article examines the principle of international criminal justice - the presumption of innocence of the defendant. Its content, limits are clarified, the practice of the European Court of Human Rights is analyzed, as well as the practice of international tribunals on the presumption of innocence of the defendant as part of his right to a fair trial.It is established that presumptions of a legal nature on matters of fact and law are admissible in international criminal proceedings only if the defendant is given the opportunity to refute them and prove his innocence.The presumption of innocence is enshrined as a principle and right of the defendant in modern international criminal procedure law, primarily in the Statutes of international courts and tribunals. An analysis of the relevant provisions of these statutes shows that the presumption of innocence means at least that: 1) the burden of proof lies on the prosecution; 2) evidence of guilt must meet a certain standard; 3) in some cases, the presumption may include additional rights, such as the right to bail, as well as additional conditions, such as the condition of a guilty plea only by a lawful court or following a trial in which all rights of defense have been secured, etc. .; 4) the defendant has the right to doubt in his favor; 5) the right of the defendant to remain silent; 6) the right of the defendant to a certain standard of conviction or acquittal; 7) theright of the defendant to compensation in case of acquittal. The formulation of the presumption of innocencein the Covenant and the Convention allows the establishment of the innocence of the defendant by different procedures depending on “what is at stake”, ie depending on the legal consequences arising from the establishment of guilt. If the defendant can be released from criminal liability and punishment, the procedure for rebutting the presumption of his innocence may be different, and the defendant, of course, must be provided with all means of protection against prosecution.

Abstract:
The presumption of the defendant’s innocence is one of the fundamental principles of modern criminal procedure. It could be argued that there is no person who, regardless of the level of education and profession, has never heard of the maxim of criminal procedure according to which everyone charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law. Despite the general „popularization“ of the presumption of innocence, many legal scholars and practitioners would recoil to define its content and legal nature. After the introductory considerations, the paper analyzes the legislative history of the presumption of innocence in former Yugoslavian and Croatian legislation and the understanding of its legal nature. Furthermore, the content of the right to presumption of innocence is examined in international legal sources, primarily the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, and subsequently in the European Union law. The latter includes the normative codification of the presumption of innocence, which was implemented at the EU level by the adoption of Directive 2016/343 on the strengthening of certain aspects of the presumption of innocence and of the right to be present at the trial in criminal proceedings. The presumption of innocence is also analyzed from the viewpoint of the Croatian normative framework and case law. The last part of the paper contains concluding remarks.

Abstract:
In the law enforcement against perpetrators of criminal acts of terrorism, protection of human rights must be prioritized even though the act constitutes an extraordinary crime which must be condemned regardless of the reasons and motives. The principle of presumption of innocence must also be upheld because the principle of presumption of innocence is a norm or rule that contains provisions that must be implementedby law enforcement officials to treat a suspect or defendant like an innocent person even though the evidence indicates the fault of a suspect or defendant. In the application of the presumption of innocence principle, law enforcers must really be able to implement it even though sometimes in the field implementation there are pro and contra when making decisions to take action against terrorists. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize law enforcement based on the presumption of innocence, both as stated in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) and the terrorism law so that law enforcement can prioritize the presumption of innocence and can avoid abuse of authority by law enforcement.

Abstract:
The paper examines the Anglo-Saxon and continental approaches to understanding the principle of the presumption of innocence. It is concluded that in Russia this principle was established and implemented in the spirit of continental legal logic. The effect of the presumption of innocence and the provisions arising from it (the principle of in dubio pro reo, the rule that the accused is not obliged to prove his innocence, etc.) when considering a criminal case by a Russian court with the participation of jurors is examined. The features of evidence in this form of legal proceedings, the relationship of the presumption of innocence with the right of jurors to find the defendant innocent if it is fully proven that they committed a criminal act (criminal law nullification) are considered. The conclusion is substantiated that it is in a trial with a jury that the presumption of innocence is most fully realized; it contains additional guarantees of its strict observance.

Abstract:
FACTS AND THEIR ASSESSMENT AS THE SUBJECT OF THE SUBSTANTIVE PRESUMPTION IN THE CRIMINAL TRIALThe fundamental problem of the article can be expressed in two sequentially asked questions, namely — firstly — whether the subject of substantive presumption may be not only facts, but also assessments formulated on their basis, and — secondly — whether in the case of limiting the essence of presumptions exclusively to facts, it would be possible to include into the presumptions these elements of the dogmatic structure of crime, the occurrence of which requires, first and foremost, a series of normative assessments based on normative criteria. It is diffi cult to imagine a situation in which a subject reconstructing reality would make the subject of presumption, and therefore only “guess” that he values its elements. It would have to mean that the court must use a presumption to assess whether the realization of the signs of a prohibited act was socially harmful, unlawful and culpable. A constitutional principle of the presumption of innocence, according to which the accused should be regarded as innocent until his guilt is proved and confi rmed by a valid sentence, does not authorize to conclude that the evidence emerging from successively collected evidence indicates innocence, but it only means that before the fi nal termination of the proceedings, there is no factual and legal basis for verifying the fault and bringing to criminal responsibility.

Abstract:
Abstract By explaining the argument from ignorance in terms of the presumption of innocence, many textbooks in argumentation theory suggest that some arguments from ignorance might share essential features with some types of presumptive reasoning. The stronger version of this view, suggesting that arguments from ignorance and presumptive reasoning are almost indistinguishable, is occasionally proposed by Douglas Walton. This paper explores the nature and limits of the stronger proposal and argues that initial presumptions and arguments from ignorance are not closely connected. There are three main reasons. First, the argument from ignorance, unlike typical presumptive reasoning, is a negative kind of inference. Second, the typical initial presumption is sensitive to a broader set of defeaters and thus assumes a higher (negative) standard of acceptability. Third, in dialectical terms, initial presumption and argument from ignorance bring different attacking rights and obligations. I conclude that Waltonian intuition is unsupported or, at best, is limited only to practical presumptions and practical arguments from ignorance.

Abstract:
There is a link between a presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial. The rights of a legal person, to be regarded as innocent, protection is ensured by the guarantees in law. The Court of Justice has recognized that the right to the presumption of innocence, the legal persons does not apply in the same way as natural persons. The Constitution reinforces the presumption of innocence is to be subject to the right to a fair trial arising from the principle of justice. The Constitution stipulates that the rights of the person may be limited to the benefit of the public, but not the right to the presumption of innocence. In the article the author expresses the conviction, nowadays, the development of such rights, – the environment, animal, unborn children, deceased persons and other types of law; it is obvious that, on the basis of an equity principle, human rights are extended translated and applied. Justice fully embraces the principles of equality law, which allows concluding on the physical and legal persons to equality before the law and the courts.

Abstract:
The presumption of innocence is the presumption of innocence of any person before being conviction and conviction. This principle aims to protect the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects and defendants before the trial in court, and cannot be regarded as criminals only because they are criminal suspects, which is also a guarantee of human rights. Although the relevant laws and regulations have gradually implement the presumption of innocence principle of legal spirit, promote the legitimacy of the judicial process and the rule of law thought progress, but the presumption of innocence principle in our country has no clear legal provisions, therefore, how to put the presumption of innocence principle institutionalization, legalization, speed up the presumption of innocence principle of legislation and perfect judicial practice is needed to solve the problem.

Abstract:
Despite its inclusion in most, if not all, criminal justice systems, there is no general consensus as to what constitutes the presumption of innocence. This study answers the question: What is the presumption of innocence? The study contributes to knowledge by providing a comprehensive definition of the presumption of innocence from both a theoretical and practical perspective. The substantive chapters are thematic. Chapter two examines how the presumption of innocence fits within the existing legal framework. Chapters three and four discuss the two aspects of the presumption of innocence. The procedural aspect is a legal presumption that is applicable at trial, while the non-procedural aspect extends the presumption of innocence outside of trial to protect non-convicted individuals from being treated as if they have been convicted. Chapter five argues that everyone can benefit from the presumption of innocence, but the right only attaches once someone is 'charged'. Chapter six examines the duty to uphold the presumption of innocence concluding that the strongest duty falls to the fact-finder but the majority of the burden falls to public authorities. Finally, the seventh chapter attempts to reconcile the presumption of innocence with pre-determination detention. The thesis concludes that the presumption of innocence is a human right with two aspects. These aspects keep innocent people from being treated as if they have been convicted of a crime. While the procedural aspect is operative at trial, the nonprocedural aspect extends the presumption of innocence beyond trial. The outcome of the particular criminal case determines when the right to the presumption of innocence ends. Finally, the presumption of innocence may be reconciled with predetermination detention only if the reason justifying the detention is not based within the criminal process.

Abstract:
5203 L $$aSince the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998, English courts have been called upon to decide whether 'reverse burdens', that is burdens of proof on a defendant in a criminal trial, are compatible with the right to be presumed innocent protected by Article (2) of the ECHR. Following the lead of the Strasbourg Court, the English courts have leld that the right to be presumed innocent may be subject to proportionate limitations. Accordingly, the doctrine of proportionality, comprising the notion of 'balance' between individual rights and the community interest, has become the touchstone of compliance with Article 6(2). is thesis seeks to move discussion of Article 6(2) beyond the anguage of proportionality and to place the focus on the values underlying the presumption of innocence.

O garantismo penal busca a interpretação do Direito Penal e Processual Penal em consonância com a Constituição, assegurando a todos os cidadãos, inclusive aqueles que respondem a processos, os direitos e garantias individuais, limitando o poder estatal. O direito penal deve ser fulcrado em princípios como legalidade estrita (devendo ser feita a análise da tipicidade de forma conglobante), materialidade e lesividade dos delitos, responsabilidade pessoal, contraditório, a presunção de inocência dentre outros, não podendo intervir de forma violenta contra o acusado, sob pena de estar contribuindo para o aumento da violência. Prisão não é solução contra crimes. Deve-se investir mais em políticas públicas efetivas. A liberdade é a regra. Prisão, exceção. Deve o magistrado, quando a prisão não for adequada e necessária, aplicar outras cautelares. As prisões cautelares devem servir ao processo, observando-se as regras processuais e princípios constitucionais. Na garantia da ordem pública, deve-se demonstrar o perigo na liberdade de forma concreta. As decisões do Tribunal de Justiça de Minas devem estar em consonância com as decisões garantistas do Supremo Tribunal Federal.
The Penal Guaranteeism persuits the Criminal Law and Procedures interpretation in line with the Constitution, assuring all the citizens, including the ones whom respond to proceedings, the rights and individual guarantee, limiting the State power. The criminal law must be established to principles such as strict legality, (must be made the analysis of the typical features in an encompass way), materiality and how the offences prejudice, personal responsibility, contradictory, the presumption of innocence among others, do not taking part in a violent way against the accused, under penalty of being contributing to the violence increase. Arrest is not the solution against crimes. It must be more invested in effective public policies. Freedom is the rule. Arrest, an exception. The magistrate must apply interim measures when the arrest is not suitable or necessary. The interim measures must serve the proceeding, taking into account the procedural rules and the constitutional principles. In the public order assurance statement, it must be shown the danger in freedom in a concrete way.

Magister Legum - LLM
In South Africa, as in most jurisdictions, the presumption of innocence is a guaranteed constitutional right. The rationale of the presumption lies in the protection which it offers, since a person charged with a criminal offence stands to lose dearly in personal liberty, in social life and psychological well-being. The presumption is, therefore, a pivotal element of a culture of democracy and human rights. This study is prompted by the realisation that the presumption of innocence, which ought to constitute one of the most fundamental rights in any criminal justice system, is being eroded steadily in South Africa. In this regard, a significant area of concern is the current bail laws which, in my estimation, make a big dent into the right to be presumed innocent. The bail laws are part of government’s policies directed at fighting crime. However, the pre-occupation with crime control measures threatens to reverse the hard-won rights of the accused and threatens to undermine individual liberty. Also, these measures are incompatible with the constitutional commitment to a culture of human rights.

Abstract:
The South African criminal justice process is such that there is an inevitable lapse of time between the arrest of the offender and his or her subsequent trial. The pre-trial incarceration presents a special problem. Between the arrest of the accused and release, the accused is being deprived of his or her liberty in circumstances where no court of law has pronounced him or her guilty. The right to bail is well entrenched in South African criminal justice system both in the Constitution Act and Criminal Procedure Act. Bail is always in the form of contract between the State and the accused, even though at times it may be opposed by the State. In the past the legal position based on the case law was that the presumption of innocence in bail proceedings operated in favour of the applicant even where it was said that there was a strong prima facie case against him or her. This position has slightly changed in that the courts in bail applications are not concerned with guilt, but that of possible guilt only to the extent that it may bear on where the interests of justice lie in regard to bail. The onus of proof in bail applications, other than Schedule 5 and 6 offences is borne by the State. Where Schedule 5 or 6 is applicable the onus is on the applicant. There are different requirements between schedule 5 and 6 that must be met by the applicant before release on bail is granted. In Schedule 5 offences the bail applicant must satisfy the court that the interests of justice permit his or her release. In determining whether the interests of justice permit the release of a particular applicant on bail, the courts are guided by the provisions of section 60(4) to (9) inclusive of section (11B)(c) of the Criminal Procedure Act. In such determination the courts must also take into account of section 60(60)(a) to (g) of the Criminal Procedure Act. In Schedule 6 offences there are two requirements namely: the exceptional circumstances and the interests of justice. The term “exceptional circumstances” does not have a closed definition. Both requirements must be established by means of written or oral evidence to the satisfaction of the court before bail may be granted. As pointed out above, the State may still oppose the release on bail of the applicant. It is now accepted in bail applications that ordinary circumstances may in particular context be blended with exceptional or unusual elements. In such cases the court is expected to apply its independent evaluation of evidence in order to determine whether the exceptional circumstances in the interests of justice permit the release on bail. Similarly to the South African bail jurisprudence the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court recognises a right of the arrested person to apply for the interim release. It also recognises the need to establish exceptional circumstances for such release. The South African bail jurisprudence recognises the right to bail, and places reasonable and procedural limitations founded on the constitutional values and interests of justice. There are still practical challenges that need to be addressed as a results of the stringent requirements in section 60(11)(a) and (b) of the Criminal Procedure Act that relate to Schedule 5 and 6. It is therefore recommended that there is a need for the following: 1. Legislative intervention that will regulate and limit the time spent on investigations where bail has been refused. 2. Legislative intervention that will provide for an automatic review procedures in Schedule 5 or 6 offences where bail is refused on grounds that the interests of justice do not permit the release of the applicant on bail or for failure to prove exceptional circumstances. It is submitted that this may assist in reducing refusals of bail based on mistaken understanding of the law or facts or irregularities that may be prejudicial to the applicant or the administration of justice; or 3. Legislative intervention that will make it mandatory for a court that refuses to grant bail to reconsider its decision after a certain period in future provided that the trial has not been commenced with, in order to determine whether further incarceration is necessary or proportionate to the offence. It is submitted that this may assist the court to enquire into unreasonable delays on investigations or changed circumstances of the applicant in order to enable the court to reconsider its previous decision if necessary. This may further assist in offences where it is foreseeable that the trial court is likely to pass a partly or wholly suspended sentence in case of conviction. For example some cases fall within the scope of Schedule 5 by virtue of a previous conviction on Schedule 1 or release on bail on a Schedule 1 offence. The above recommendations may directly or indirectly contribute in balancing the scales of justice during the bail proceedings and its aftermath. These may contribute to the reduction of high numbers of the in custody awaiting trial prisoners while not compromising the current bail procedures.

Nekaltumo prezumpcija – pamatinis ir visuotinai pripažįstamas baudžiamosios teisės principas, įtvirtintas tarptautiniuose teisės tiek nacionaliniuose teisės aktuose. Šio principo postulatas reikalauja asmenį laikyti nekaltu, jei neįrodoma priešingai ir suponuoja būtinų procesinių taisyklių laikymąsi nustatant tam tikras proceso dalyvių teises ir pareigas. Tačiau nekaltumo prezumpcijos principas turi tam tikrų prieštaravimų, kurių esminis yra tai, kad baudžiamajame procese greta nekaltumo prezumpcijos egzistuoja jos antipodas - kaltumo prezumpcija. Jei tokios nebūtų, būtų neįmanomą prieš asmenį pradėti baudžiamąjį procesą ir taikyti jam procesines prievartos priemones. Vadinasi nekaltumo prezumpcija nėra ir negali būti suabsoliutinama baudžiamajame procese, tačiau visgi ji būtina kaip asmens teisių garantas. Šiuolaikinėje baudžiamojoje teisėje, nors ir suvokiama nekaltumo prezumpcijos svarba žmogaus teisių užtikrinimo kontekste ir vienų mokslininkų laikoma objektyvia ir visuotinai privaloma teisine nuostata, visgi yra manančių, kad nekaltumo prezumpcija yra viso labo tik fikcija, neturinti praktinės reikšmės. Be to nekaltumo prezumpcija nebegalioja tik nuo to momento kai įsiteisėja kaltumą konstatuojantis teismo nuosprendis. Vadinasi kol vyksta ikiteisminis tyrimas, ar teismo procesas, daugelis aplinkybių dar nėra pilnutinai ištirtos, taigi nesibaigus teisminiam nagrinėjimui išlieka didėlė tikimybė nekaltai apkaltinti asmenį.

The presumption of innocence is the fundamental and general principle in the criminal law which is recognized both: internationally and nationally. The presumption of innocence - is the principle that one is considered innocent until proven guilty. This principle implies that there should be the certain and strict rules followed in the process while settling the rights and obligations of the participants of the criminal procedures. However this principle has some contradictions with other principles. The essential contradiction is with the presumption of guilt. Without the presumption of guilt there would be impossible to start the criminal proceedings and to impose coercive measures against any person. So the presumption of innocence is not and can not be considered as absolute principle, but the one which guarantees the implementation of certain rights of the person in criminal proceedings. Even though in modern criminal law the importance of the presumption of innocence to ensure human rights is realized and principle is considered as universally binding legal provision by many researchers, some researches express the opinion that presumption of innocence is pure fiction and that it has no practical significance. The presumption of innocence proceeds until someone is found guilty by final and valid court decision. Taking into the consideration mentioned above during the pre-trial investigation or during the trial many factors have not yet been fully explored and... [to full text]

Abstract:
Побудова правової держави в Україні безпосередньо пов’язана з посиленням правового захисту особи. Людина, її життя і здоров’я, честь і гідність, недоторканність і безпека визнаються Конституцією України найвищою соціальною цінністю, а утвердження і забезпечення прав і свобод людини проголошується головним обов’язком держави. Презумпцію невинуватості як правове явище визначають як сукупність взаємопов’язаних між собою функціональних проявів, що визначають правовий статус особи, яка притягається до юридичної відповідальності і реалізація яких гарантується правовими положеннями, що забезпечують законне та гуманне ставлення до такої особи. Презумпція невинуватості є елементом загальноправового статусу особи, який захищає права суб’єкта будь-яких правовідносин різних галузей права, коли виникає питання про притягнення його до відповідальності.

Abstract:
Magister Legum - LLM
This paper attempts a comprehensive analysis of the offence of illicit enrichment in Zambia. It focuses on how the offence fits into the broader legislative framework in Zambia. More importantly, the paper addresses aspects of the offence related to the presumption ofinnocence, the protection against self-incrimination and the presumption of legality in the light of the Zambian Constitution to determine whether the concerns raised are legitimate. Also, considering the potential effectiveness of criminalising illicit enrichment by public officials, this study investigates whether the law in Zambia can be implemented to balance the constitutional rights of the accused and the right of society to recover illicitly obtained wealth. Finally, the research seeks to determine the possible challenges of implementing and prosecuting the offence, and its efficacy in the fight against corruption in Zambia.

Abstract:
AbstractPretrial detention is a debated and controversial measure since it is an exception to the principle of the presumption of innocence. To determine whether and to what extent legal systems make excessive use of pretrial detention, an empirical analysis of judicial practice is needed. The paper presents some preliminary results of experimental research aimed at identifying the relevant factors on the basis of which Italian and Brazilian Supreme Courts impose the measure. To analyze and extract the relevant predictive-features, we rely on unsupervised learning approaches, in particular association and clustering methods. As a result, we found common factors between the two legal systems in terms of crime, location, grounds for appeal, and judge’s reasoning.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter is dedicated to the argument against intermediate verdicts that has played the most prominent role in the Italian and in the Scottish debates. This is the argument according to which such verdicts are incompatible with the presumption of innocence and advances a theory of the meaning and of the justification of the presumption. It highlights the upshot of this theory, which includes a rule imposing on the criminal justice authorities the burden of giving sufficient reasons for any infringement of the defendant’s enjoyment of the rights to which all members of the polity are prima facie entitled. The chapter discusses the presumption of innocence that effectively passes the buck on the question of permissibility. If sufficient reasons for issuing an intermediate verdict are given, then, such a verdict can be issued without violating the presumption.

Abstract:
The understanding of the presumption of innocence has been developing since the Roman Empire. This principle and the right not to incriminate oneself are recognised as an international standard which lies at the heart of the notion of a fair procedure. The right not to incriminate oneself is significant with regard to the evidence, which is obtained through methods of coercion or oppression in defiance of the will of the accused. Since handwriting and voice samples do not exist independently from the will of the suspect, if these were to be obtained in covert or investigative measures, it is essential that the right not to incriminate oneself is respected.

Abstract:
The emergence of Innocence Projects in Croatia in 2015 sparked an interest in the fate of wrongfully convicted individuals and the potential of post-conviction DNA examination. In 2020, the experimental Innocence Project was established at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation to raise public awareness of miscarriages of justice, advocate for legal changes to make it easier for defendants to reopen their cases, and provide legal representation for those believed to be wrongfully convicted. This article delves into the use and handling of DNA information by law enforcement agencies and its treatment within the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and in the Croatian national criminal legislation. However, concerns have been raised regarding the retention, use, and time-limited frameworks of DNA data in law enforcement databases, particularly concerning the presumption of innocence for individuals who have not been convicted of a crime. The European Court of Human Rights adopted the “Marper” test to address this issue and to ensure that all DNA data is expunged from law enforcement databases when it is not relevant to criminal investigations. This test balances the government’s interests in crime prevention and criminal investigation against individual citizens’ privacy interests, making it essential in addressing wrongful convictions. Using the theoretical, comparative, case study, and dogmatic method The article examines the legal standards of the Council of Europe and the European Union, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as Croatian positive legal standards on the retention and use of DNA data and applicable databases. Finally, the article suggests potential legislative reforms in Croatia to improve the utilization, storage, and ramification of DNA data and the use of forensic DNA databases to address miscarriages of justice, particularly in “cold cases”.
