The Suspect's Right to Remain Silent as A Guarantee of Human Rights Between Criminal Justice and Procedural Legitimacy

Abstract

Criminal procedure is governed by the constitutional rule that innocence is the fundamental principle of human beings and therefore judicial police authorities must deal with the person under suspicion in a fair and just manner Assuming his innocence requires that he not be required to provide any evidence of his innocence, which allows him to exercise his right to silence, which represents one of the manifestations of his self-defense, without his silence being interpreted as evidence of conviction, which requires the necessity of providing the necessary legal protection to exercise this right.
