The rule that no person shall be compelled to be a witness against himself is embodied in which maxim:

Nemo tenetur se ipsum accusare means that no one is bound to accuse himself. It expresses the privilege against compelled self-incrimination, reflected in Article 20(3) of the Constitution for a person accused of an offence. Damnum sine injuria concerns damage without infringement of a legal right, while the necessity maxim addresses a different principle.
