Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence This book examines what happens when states and other authorities use detention to abuse their power, deter dissent and maintain social hierarchies. 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a fresh reminder that the international community needs to do more to counter arbitrary detention. Ferstman's rigorous analysis determines with clarity and persuasiveness under what precise conditions deprivation of freedom is warranted and when it is a serious violation of universally recognized standards. This book is an enormous contribution to the struggle to uphold those principles, to denounce aberrant recourse to prolonged or widespread detention without trial, and to devise specific and effective remedies in international and in domestic law to preserve the fundamental right to liberty." Juan E. Mendez, American University Washington College of Law and former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture
