Search and Interrogation

Similar to detainment and arrest, situations of search and interrogation also entail many dangers for violations of the most basic human rights – from the right to privacy to the right to due process and the right to dignity. A clear line must be drawn

Search and Interrogation

between situations in which the injury to rights is performed legally and with authority – as an essential part of the process of search or interrogation – and situations in which the police or military are overstepping their authority and abusing their power in an arbitrary manner. For example, when they do not inform the person being investigated of the right to silence during interrogation, or when they use search as a means for pressure or intimidation.
