Άρθρο 49 - Αρχές της νομιμότητας και της αναλογικότητας αξιοποίνων πράξεων και ποινών

1. Κανείς δεν μπορεί να καταδικασθεί για πράξη ή παράλειψη, η οποία δεν αποτελούσε, κατά τη στιγμή της τέλεσής της, αδίκημα κατά το εθνικό ή το διεθνές δίκαιο. Ούτε επιβάλλεται βαρύτερη ποινή από εκείνη η οποία ίσχυε κατά τη στιγμή της τέλεσης του αδικήματος. Εάν, μετά την τέλεση του αδικήματος, προβλεφθεί με νόμο ελαφρύτερη ποινή, επιβάλλεται αυτή η ποινή. 2. Το παρόν άρθρο δεν επηρεάζει τη δίκη και την τιμωρία ατόμου ενόχου για πράξη ή παράλειψη η οποία, κατά τη στιγμή της τέλεσής της, ήταν εγκληματική σύμφωνα με τις γενικές αρχές που αναγνωρίζονται από όλα τα έθνη. 3. Η αυστηρότητα της ποινής δεν πρέπει να είναι δυσανάλογη προς το αδίκημα..

  • Text:

    Το άρθρο αυτό περιλαμβάνει τον κλασικό κανόνα της μη αναδρομικότητας των νόμων και ποινών στο ποινικό δίκαιο. Έχει προστεθεί ο κανόνας της αναδρομικότητας του ευνοϊκότερου ποινικού δικαίου που ισχύει σε αρκετά κράτη μέλη και περιέχεται στο άρθρο 15 του Συμφώνου για τα αστικά και πολιτικά δικαιώματα.
    Το άρθρο 7 της ΕΣΑΔ έχει ως εξής:
    `1. Ουδείς δύναται να καταδικασθή για πράξιν ή παράλειψιν η οποία, καθ’ ην στιγμήν διεπράχθη, δεν απετέλει αδίκημα συμφώνως προς το εθνικόν ή διεθνές δίκαιον. Ούτε και επιβάλλεται βαρυτέρα ποινή από εκείνην η οποία επεβάλλετο κατά την στιγμήν της διαπράξεως του αδικήματος.
    2. Το παρόν άρθρον δεν σκοπεί να επηρεάσει την δίκην και τιμωρίαν ατόμων ενόχων δια πράξεις ή παραλείψεις αι οποίαι καθ’ ην στιγμήν διεπράχθησαν, ήσαν εγκληματικαί συμφώνως προς τα αναγνωρισμένας υπό των πολιτισμένων εθνών γενικάς αρχάς δικαίου.`
    Διεγράφη απλώς, στην παράγραφο 2, ο όρος `πολιτισμένα` χωρίς αυτό να συνεπάγεται καμία μεταβολή στην έννοια της παραγράφου, που αφορά τα εγκλήματα κατά της ανθρωπότητας. Σύμφωνα με το άρθρο 52, παράγραφος 3, το διασφαλιζόμενο δικαίωμα έχει επομένως την ίδια έννοια και την ίδια εμβέλεια με το δικαίωμα που εγγυάται η ΕΣΑΔ.
    Η παράγραφος 3 περιλαμβάνει τη γενική αρχή της αναλογικότητας των αδικημάτων και των ποινών η οποία κατοχυρώνεται από τις κοινές συνταγματικές παραδόσεις των κρατών μελών και από τηνομολογία του Δικαστηρίου των Ευρωπαϊκών Κοινοτήτων.

    Article 29 (Application of criminal law) (1) No one may be sentenced under the criminal law unless the action or omission in question is punishable under a pre-existing law, nor may any person be the object of a security measure unless the prerequisites therefore are laid down by a pre-existing law. (2) The provisions of the previous paragraph do not preclude the punishment up to the limits laid down by internal Portuguese law of an action or omission which was deemed criminal under the general principles of international law that were commonly recognised at the moment of its commission. (3) No sentence or security measure may be applied unless it is expressly sanctioned by a pre-existing law. (4) No one may be the object of a sentence or security measure that is more severe than those provided for at the moment of the conduct in question, or at that at which the prerequisites for the application of such a measure were fulfilled, while criminal laws whose content is more favourable to the accused person shall be applied retroactively. (5) No one may be tried more than once for commission of the same crime. (6) Citizens who are unjustly convicted have the right to the review of their sentences and to compensation for the damages they have suffered, as laid down by law. Article 30 (Limits on sentences and security measures) (1) No sentence or security measure that deprives or restricts freedom may be perpetual in nature or have an unlimited or undefined duration. (2) In cases of danger based on a serious psychic abnormality in which therapy in an open environment is impossible, security measures that deprive or restrict freedom may be successively extended for as long as the psychic state in question is maintained, but always by judicial decision. (3) Criminal liability is not transferable. (4) No sentence shall automatically involve the loss of any civil, professional or political right. (5) Convicted persons who are the object of a sentence or security measure that deprives them of their freedom retain their fundamental rights, save for the limitations that are inherent to the purpose of their convictions and to the specific requirements imposed by the execution of the respective sentences.

Member States shall take the necessary measures to enable the confiscation, either in whole or in part, of instrumentalities and proceeds or property the value of which corresponds to such instrumentalities or proceeds, subject to a final conviction for a criminal offence, which may also result from proceedings in absentia.
    2.

    ‘1. Member States shall adopt the necessary measures to enable the confiscation, either in whole or in part, of property belonging to a person convicted of a criminal offence which is liable to give rise, directly or indirectly, to economic benefit, where a court, on the basis of the circumstances of the case, including the specific facts and available evidence, such as that the value of the property is disproportionate to the lawful income of the convicted person, is satisfied that the property in question is derived from criminal conduct.‘
