section::::history.
united states constitutional criminal procedure
after the 1996 amendments to the criminal procedure law, article 15 states that "it shall be strictly prohibited to extort confessions by torture, gather evidence by threat, enticement, deceit, or other illegal means, or force anyone to commit self-incrimination." in 2012 the law was also re-amended to strengthen the human rights protection of criminal suspects. china has since recognized the right against self-incrimination and forced confessions are prohibited by the law. however, in practice as human rights violations in china continue to be committed, it is still common practice for police to use torture on suspects to obtain forced confessions. china's accession to the united nations's international covenant on civil and political rights in 1998 also guarantees chinese citizens the right against self-incrimination; however, china has not ratified the treaty.
