Netherlands: confession evidence proposal
artdoc August=1992

The Moons Commission: a judicial advisory commission to the Dutch
cabinet for the `rationalization' of criminal and judicial
procedures, is currently debating some far-reaching
proposals. A sub-committee of `Moons' has drafted a proposal
to convict suspects only on their own statements and confession,
without the separate legal and convincing proof that is now
needed. Such a shortened and simplified procedure, which also
exists in Anglo-saxon countries, Italy and Germany, would it is
argued greatly contribute to the efficiency of the legal process.
The Moons commission is expected to present its final report
coming September.
