Pre-trial detention

Human rights, criminal procedural law and penitentiary law, comparative law

Book | 1st edition 2012 | United Kingdom | Piet van Kempen, Piet Hein van Kempen
Description

It is estimated that in the course of a year approximately 10 million people will pass through pre-trial detention. Although no adequately functioning criminal justice system can presently do entirely without detaining any suspects, pre-trial detention thus remains problematic in the context of human rights, the detainee’s family and society. This volume therefore offers a wide variety of topics that are relevant to pre-trial detention. Themes discussed are, for instance: developments that affect the application of pre-trial detention; relevant international and national human rights standards as well as monitoring systems; pre-trial detention of specific groups, and alternatives to pre-trial detention. Moreover, this volume contains chapters on 21 individual countries from around the world. On the basis of these, this volume not only examines whether and how international human rights standards on detention are influencing national law and practice, and the extent to which international norms are suitable to do so, it also intends to reveal strengths and weaknesses of domestic law systems as such.

L’on estime que chaque année, près de 10 millions de personnes feront l’objet d’une détention avant jugement. Si aucun système de justice pénale efficace ne peut totalement faire l’impasse sur la détention des suspects, la détention avant jugement reste problématique, tant dans l’optique des droits de l’homme que pour la famille du détenu et la société. Le présent volume aborde dès lors de nombreux sujets liés à la détention avant jugement. Sont évoqués entre autres thèmes : les développements qui affectent l’application de la détention avant jugement; les normes internationales et nationales des droits de l’homme pertinentes, ainsi que les mécanismes de contrôle; la détention avant jugement des groupes spécifiques et les alternatives à la détention avant jugement. Ce volume compte des chapitres consacrés à 21 pays individuels dans le monde entier. Le présent volume ne se limite donc pas à examiner si les normes internationales des droits de l’homme influencent le droit et la pratique nationale, si oui, dans quelle mesure, et en quoi ces normes sont adéquates pour ce faire, il tend également à mettre en avant les points forts et les points faibles des systèmes juridiques nationaux.


About this book
‘The strong human rights focus is an outstanding feature of this collection of essays. [the] study is worth reading - it provides valuable information, highly relevant and timely insights into foreign systems of pre-trial detention as well as the necessary comparative analysis based on a human rights approach. While some of the country chapters are rather descriptive and stick very much to the “law in books”, others provide valuable insights into their national law in action. Particularly when national data on pre-trial detention, the crucial jurisprudence and scientific studies are presented and analyzed the volume constitutes a rich source of information and a basis for further comparative research.’
