Detention and Its Alternatives Under International Law

Beschreibung

The book analyses the current state of international law on detention and its alternatives across national laws and policies. It identifies critiques stemming from the perception that international law prioritises procedural safeguards, leaving substantive legitimacy, necessity, and proportionality of detention and its alternatives underdeveloped.
