American law outlines a series of protections for those accused of crimes but not yet convicted. (Like the 4th-6th amendments)

Does your country have any unique/novel protections of the rights of potentially innocent people accused but yet to be convicted?

If not are there any protections you think should be in place?

    In dubio pro reo. Innocent until proven guilty. I thought that was in the universal declaration of human rights or something. Stunned to learn that any country that calls itself democratic could do otherwise.

    Or, from another perspective: many people in my country take so much for granted, not knowing how lucky they are.
