Recognition and Management of Right to Silence

Some special defending rights have been recognized to make certain that trial process would be fair for someone who has been entered judicial cycle because of accusation of a crime. These can be called "human justice rights". Included in is not to be respondent or right to silence when asked by a judge that in practice there are some worries about the degree to which an accused can benefit from his/her right and widespread criticism of the government’s absolute acceptance of this right. Somehow, this worry has been reflected in criminal procedure and new Criminal Procedure Act. In this article, we tried to explain not only concepts, types and accreditation basis, but also attitude to this right in international documents as well as in internal laws. Also included in are "wise discontinuation of silence" mechanisms so as to terminate silence through mechanisms like attention to criminal past history, to logical reasons of silence, to evidence, to victims as well as to encouragement.
