The principle of presumption of innocence is regarded as an international standard for fair trial, and it is universally reflected in the criminal procedural laws of different countries. However, the adoption of this principle faces challenges within the context of transitional criminal justice models, particularly in ensuring consistency between the principle’s content and the political-legal, historical, and cultural conditions of each nation. This study focuses on analyzing the typical case of Vietnam’s criminal procedure, evaluating the foundational aspects of adopting the presumption of innocence, and examining the incongruities with other elements of the national criminal justice system. Such discrepancies hinder the practical effectiveness of the presumption of innocence in Vietnam.
