Balancing the rights of the accused with societal protection is challenging because it involves ensuring fairness and justice while maintaining public safety. Protecting the rights of the accused, such as due process and presumption of innocence, is fundamental to preventing wrongful convictions and upholding human rights. However, the need to protect society from crime and maintain order can sometimes lead to pressure for swift and decisive action, which may compromise these rights. This tension requires a careful and constantly evolving legal framework to navigate competing interests and uphold both justice and security.
