Preventive Detention And Human Rights: A Doctrinal Study Of Human Rights Violations In India
Keywords:
N\AAbstract
India has been discussing preventive detention laws for some time now, with the top priority being to balance national security with individual autonomy. The objective of this paper is to analyse trends in the past twenty years and the impact of preventive detention laws on human rights, using an empirical lens. This study highlights the use of preventive detention laws to penalize marginalized communities through the analysis of case law, reports from human rights organizations, and statistical data. The evaluation is being conducted to determine India's compliance with international human rights obligations, which include the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Policy recommendations that improve transparency, accountability, and compliance with human rights standards are presented in the final section of the paper.
