Editing Right to silence (section)

===Ukraine===
Section 4 of Article 29 of [[Constitution of Ukraine]]<ref>[[:s:Constitution of Ukraine, 2004|Constitution of Ukraine]] – [[Wikisource]]</ref> reads:

<blockquote>Everyone arrested or detained shall be informed without delay of the reasons for his or her arrest or detention, apprised of his or her rights, and from the moment of detention shall be given the opportunity to personally defend himself or herself, or to have the legal assistance of a defender.</blockquote>

Article 63 of Constitution of Ukraine reads:

{{Blockquote|A person shall not bear responsibility for refusing to testify or to explain anything about himself or herself, members of his or her family or close relatives in the degree determined by law.

A suspect, an accused, or a defendant has the right to a defense.

A convicted person enjoys all human and citizens' rights, with the exception of restrictions determined by law and established by a court verdict.}}

The Criminal Process Code of Ukraine has some regulations on how the rights of suspects and accused. Section 2 of Article 21<ref name="cpc-ua">[http://legislationline.org/documents/action/popup/id/16259/preview Criminal Process Code of Ukraine] (unofficial translation)</ref> reads:

<blockquote>Inquirer, investigator, prosecutor, judge, and court, before the first examination of the suspect, accused, and defendant, are required to advise them of the right to have a defense counsel and draw up an appropriate record thereon, as well as provide the suspect, accused, and defendant the possibility to defend themselves with legal remedies from the charge brought and ensure protection of their personal and property rights.</blockquote>

Article 43–1, Section 1 gives the following definition of "suspect":<ref name="cpc-ua" />

{{Blockquote|The following person is considered to be a suspect:

1) a person apprehended on the suspicion of having committed a crime;

2) a person in whose respect a measure of restraint has been imposed before the decision to prosecute him/her has been made.}}

Consequently, the list of suspect's rights follows:<ref name="cpc-ua" />

<blockquote>The suspect has the right to: know what he/she is suspected of; give testimonies or refuse testifying and answering questions; have a defense counsel and meet him/her before the first examination; produce evidence; submit motions and propose disqualifications; request that the court or prosecutor verify legality of the apprehension; submit complaints against actions and decisions of the officer who conducts operational-detective activities, inquirer, investigator, and prosecutor, and, with appropriate grounds present, have his/her security ensured.
The fact that the suspect was advised of his/her rights is entered into the record of apprehension or decision to impose a measure of restraint.</blockquote>

Article 53 contains the following regulation:<ref name="cpc-ua" />

<blockquote>Court, prosecutor, investigator and the inquirer are required to advise participants to the case of their rights and to ensure the possibility to enjoy such rights.</blockquote>

However, there are no clear regulations on how the rights should be announced. This is commonly made by reading them out when announcing the decision on instituting criminal proceedings or arrest and then requiring a suspect or arrestee to sign the list of these rights.
