KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Liberty and Freedom from Arbitrary Detention


Liberty and freedom from arbitrary detention is a fundamental human right protected under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights. It ensures that no one is deprived of their freedom except in accordance with the law.


Detention must be based on specific legal grounds and must follow proper procedures. Individuals must be informed promptly of the reasons for their detention and must have the opportunity to challenge it in court.


The right also requires that pre-trial detention be justified and not excessive. If detention is unlawful, the individual has a right to compensation, reinforcing the importance of protecting personal freedom.
