La crise de la présomption d’innocence: regard croisé sur la procédure pénale camerounaise et de la Cour pénale internationale
The crisis of the presumption of innocence: fresh perspective on the criminal procedure in Cameroon and the International Criminal Court

Summary/Abstract: Most of time, the suspect is presumed innocent in the beginning of the penal proceeding. But this presumption of innocence is created for saving individual freedoms and reputation. The truth is that the suspect is presumed guilty after his arrest. And the judicial authorities will check if the suspect is innocent or confirmed guilty. This situation can threaten individual freedoms and reputation. That is why we want to size the meaning of presumption of innocence in other to protect it, at first. Secondly, we are going to study the presumption of culpability. What is more, the fact that the suspect is presumed guilty justifies the office of a barrister at any stage of the penal proceeding. In fact, before the arrest of the suspect, he is presumed innocent. After his arrest he is presumed guilty.
