KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Inhuman Treatment or Punishment
Inhuman treatment or punishment refers to conduct that causes severe physical or mental suffering or humiliation. It is prohibited under human rights law and is considered an absolute right that cannot be restricted under any circumstances.
Public authorities have both a negative duty not to engage in such treatment and a positive duty to protect individuals from it. The concept plays a critical role in cases involving detention, deportation, prison conditions, and state responsibility.
