The right to be treated with dignity and humanity has been entrenched in various international instruments and is reflected within the Constitution of Pakistan as well. Various domestic laws have been introduced to regulate arrest, pre-trial detention and preventive detention which also lay down conditions that must be observed when dealing with cases related to the deprivation of liberty. This Section aims to outline the international and constitutional standards and correlating domestic laws to provide a holistic view of the law related to arrest, pre-trial and preventive detention which may guide the judicial process of dealing with such areas of the law in light of requirements established under various human rights standards.
