<DIV>Perhaps a little Latin should flow in all knowledge. Post Facto From Websters; Late Latin, literally, from a thing done afterward. The legal aspect is well summed up by Lexus; An ex post facto law is a law passed after the occurrence of an event or action which retrospectively changes the legal consequences of the event or action. </DIV>

<DIV>The UN Article 11 (2) addresses such behavior thusly: (2) No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the penal offence was committed. </DIV>
<DIV>(all modern law has treated this the same in the civil rights arena)</DIV></td></tr></table>
