3. Read the following text I. Introduction Article 7 of the Convention – No punishment without law “1. No one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence under national or international law at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the criminal offence was committed. 2. This article shall not prejudice the trial and punishment of any person for any act or omission which, at the time when it was committed, was criminal according to the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations.” 1. The guarantee enshrined in Article 7, which is an essential element of the rule of law, occupies a prominent place in the Convention system of protection, as is underlined by the fact that no derogation from it is permissible under Article 15 in time of war or other public emergency. It should be construed and applied, as follows from its object and purpose, in such a way as to provide effective safeguards against arbitrary prosecution, conviction and punishment 2. Article 7 of the Convention is not confined to prohibiting the retrospective application of criminal law to an accused’s disadvantage. It also embodies, more generally, the principles that only the law can define a crime and prescribe a penalty (nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege) and that the criminal law must not be extensively construed to an accused person’s disadvantage, for instance by analogy. B. The concept of “criminal offence” 5. The “criminal offence” concept (“infraction” in the French version) has an autonomous meaning, like “criminal charge” in Article 6 of the Convention 1. The three criteria set out in the case of Engel and Others v. the Netherlands, for assessing whether a charge is “criminal” within the meaning of Article 6 must also be applied to Article 7: - classification in domestic law; - the very nature of the offence (the most important criterion, see Jussila v. Finland; - the degree of severity of the penalty that the person concerned risks incurring. 6. In applying those criteria, the Court held that a breach of military discipline did not fall within the “criminal” sphere for the purposes of either Article 6 or Article 7. The same applies to dismissals and restrictions on employment of former KGB agents, a disciplinary offence committed by a student on university premises and impeachment proceedings against the President of the Republic for gross violations of the Constitution. In the absence of a “criminal offence” the Court found that the complaint was incompatible ratione materiae with the provisions of the Convention relied upon. 4.Give English equivalents of the following: 1.
