Book Overview
Triggered by the atrocities of World War II, the last few decades have seen an increasing international awareness of the persistence of such practices as torture, abduction and arbitrary, summary, and extrajudical execution committed or tolerated by state agents or officials. The government of the world have, through intergovernmental bodies such as the United Nations, been developing a complex and sophisticated set of rules aimed at ensuring the humane treatment of prisoners and allowing intercedence on behalf of prisoners whose personal saftey is at risk. This book describes and analyzes the main principles of international law that impose limitations on the ways governments may treat those they deprive of liberty.
