/ˈnʊlə ˈpiːnə ˈsaɪni ˈleɪdʒ/ – Latin phrase
Definition: không thể trừng phạt khi luật pháp không quy định điều đó.
A more thorough explanation: “Nulla poena sine lege” is a Latin legal principle that translates to “no penalty without a law.” This principle signifies that a person cannot be punished for an action unless it is expressly prohibited by law. In other words, there must be a specific law in place that prohibits the conduct and prescribes a penalty for it before a person can be punished for that conduct.
Example: In this case, the defendant cannot be punished as there is no law that specifically prohibits the actions in question, adhering to the principle of nulla poena sine lege.
