Written by an author with decades of practical experience in the human rights field, the book examines a variety of scenarios where individuals are unlawfully detained in violation of their most basic rights to personal liberty and exposes the many fallacies associated with arbitrary detention. Proposing solutions for future policy to scrutinise processes, this is a call for greater respect for the rule of law and human rights.Detention of personsHuman rightsPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Human RightsbisacshDetention of persons.Human rights.POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights.345/.0527Ferstman Carla, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut323233Gillett Matthew, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbGopalan Priya, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910847494003321Conceptualising Arbitrary Detention4173900UNINA
