United Nations Decleration of Human Rights

 




Article 9
No on shall bee subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exlie.

Arbitirary Arrest: You can’t arrest someone if you have no evidence and are only judging on their intererst/opionions

Arbitrary: Choices and actions subject to individual will, judgement or preference, based solely upn an individuals opiniond or discretion. 
 
Article 11.
  • (1) 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.
§  (2) 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.
This means that no one is guilty until proven and the penalty for the crime committed is the right punishment. No one is blamed before proven guilty and a fair penalty is given.


Article 7.
  • All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.
This means that it doesn’t matter where you come from, what you look like, you will always get a fair trial and punishment.
