Civil liberties: Judicial safeguards
“The prolonged detention of persons without bringing them to trial because of the difficulty in securing evidence under the normal procedure is a practice which involves an inherent danger of abuse; for this reason it is subject to criticism.”
CFA Compilation of 2018, para. 143
“Because of the fact that detention may involve serious interference with trade union rights and because of the importance which it attaches to the principle of fair trial, the Committee has pressed governments to bring detainees to trial in all cases, irrespective of the reasons put forward by governments for prolonging the detention.”
CFA Compilation of 2018, para. 161
