The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention is the
first comprehensive review of the contributions of this important
institution to understanding arbitrary detention today. The Working
Group is a body of five independent human rights experts that
considers individual complaints of arbitrary detention, adopting
legal opinions as to whether a detention is compatible with states'
obligations under international law. Since its establishment in
1991, it has adopted more than 1,200 case opinions and conducted
more than fifty country missions. But much more than a
jurisprudential review, these cases are presented in the book in
the style of a treatise, where the widest array of issues on
arbitrary detention are placed in the context of the requirements
of multilateral treaties and other relevant international
standards. Written for both practitioners and serious scholars
alike, this book includes five case studies and a foreword by
Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu.
