The US is the only country I know of where guilt has to be proved. Then try to learn about others

What other countries have judicial systems where you are innocent until proven guilty and the prosecution has to show guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? Standard praxis in the EU for example. Could imagine other countries do that too, what about Japan, Australia, NewZealand? I'm pretty sure it is even the guiding principle in many developing countries, now if that's also put in praxis there everywhere is another question.
