standards of detention

Standards of detention refer to the legal and procedural protections ensuring individuals are detained fairly and lawfully. These standards require authorities to have valid reasons, such as suspicion of a crime, and to follow proper procedures, including informing the person of the reasons for detention and allowing access to legal counsel. Detention should be necessary, proportionate, and not prolonged without justification. Overall, these standards safeguard individuals’ rights while allowing authorities to maintain safety and enforce the law effectively.
