Astemirova, L.A. The presumption of innocence as a general legal presumption.

Abstract: Traditionally, the presumption of innocence is classified as a special industry presumption related to the criminal process. Indeed, it is a fundamental principle of criminal justice. But the ethical aspect of this principle has a broader meaning. The humanistic content of the presumption of innocence makes it possible to recognize it as a general legal presumption. Therefore, it is legitimate to extend it to all branches of law, where proof of guilt in the commission of an offense is decisive.
