Artikel 103 (...) (2) Eine Tat kann nur bestraft werden, wenn die Strafbarkeit gesetzlich bestimmt war, bevor die Tat begangen wurde. (...)

Art. 42.1. Odpowiedzialności karnej podlega ten tylko, kto dopuścił się czynu zabronionego pod groźbą kary przez ustawę obowiązującą w czasie jego popełnienia. Zasada ta nie stoi na przeszkodzie ukaraniu za czyn, który w czasie jego popełnienia stanowił przestępstwo w myśl prawa międzynarodowego.

Artikel 7 (1) Niemand kann wegen einer Handlung oder Unterlassung verurteilt werden, die zur Zeit ihrer Begehung nach inländischem oder internationalem Recht nicht strafbar war. Ebenso darf keine höhere Strafe als die im Zeitpunkt der Begehung der strafbaren Handlung angedrohte Strafe verhängt werden. (2) Durch diesen Artikel darf die Verurteilung oder Bestrafung einer Person nicht ausgeschlossen werden, die sich einer Handlung oder Unterlassung schuldig gemacht hat, welche im Zeitpunkt ihrer Begehung nach den von den zivilisierten Völkern allgemein anerkannten Rechtsgrundsätzen strafbar war.

31 straipsnis. Asmuo laikomas nekaltu, kol jo kaltumas neįrodytas įstatymo nustatyta tvarka ir pripažintas įsiteisėjusiu teismo nuosprendžiu. Asmuo, kaltinamas padaręs nusikaltimą, turi teisę, kad jo bylą viešai ir teisingai išnagrinėtų nepriklausomas ir bešališkas teismas. Draudžiama versti duoti parodymus prieš save, savo šeimos narius ar artimus giminaičius. Bausmė gali būti skiriama ar taikoma tik remiantis įstatymu. Niekas negali būti baudžiamas už tą patį nusikaltimą antrą kartą. Asmeniui, kuris įtariamas padaręs nusikaltimą, ir kaltinamajam nuo jų sulaikymo arba pirmosios apklausos momento garantuojama teisė į gynybą, taip pat ir teisė turėti advokatą.

Art. 19. Nulle peine ne peut être établie ni appliquée qu’en vertu de la loi. 

Nul ne peut être condamné pour une action ou omission qui, au moment où elle a été commise, ne constituait pas une infraction prévue par la loi.

Nul ne peut être condamné à une peine plus forte que celle qui était applicable au moment où l’infraction a été commise.

Article 16 No offence shall be punishable unless it was an offence under the law at the time it was committed.

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.

(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.

Slobode i prava mogu se ograničiti samo zakonom da bi se zaštitila sloboda i prava drugih ljudi te pravni poredak, javni moral i zdravlje.
Svako ograničenje slobode ili prava mora biti razmjerno naravi potrebe za ograničenjem u svakom pojedinom slučaju.

Članak 30.
Kaznena osuda za teška i osobito nečasna kaznena djela može, u skladu sa zakonom, imati za posljedicu gubitak stečenih ili zabranu stjecanja na određeno vrijeme nekih prava na obavljanje određenih poslova, ako to zahtijeva zaštita pravnog poretka.

Članak 31.
(1)Nitko ne može biti kažnjen za djelo koje prije nego je počinjeno nije bilo utvrđeno zakonom ili međunarodnim pravom kao kazneno djelo, niti mu se može izreći kazna koja nije bila određena zakonom. Ako zakon nakon počinjenog djela odredi blažu kaznu, odredit će se takva kazna.
