Just realised that this charter contains a rule against double jeopardy:
"No one shall be liable to be tried or punished again in criminal proceedings for an offence for which he or she has already been finally acquitted or convicted within the Union in accordance with the law."
which slightly surprised me, as the UK has allowed this for about 10 years, (I think). (I guess "finally" may be a getout.)
