The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention is a UN-mandated body of independent human rights experts that investigates cases of arbitrary arrest and detention that may be in violation of international human rights law. It was established in 1991 by the former Commission on Human Rights as one of the "Special Procedures" created to monitor human rights violations, and is currently under the purview of the UN Human Rights Council. In September 2013, its mandate was extended by the Council for another three years. After verifying information from a variety of sources, including non-governmental organisations, inter-governmental agencies and victims' families, the Working Group issues opinions on the compliance with international law and sends urgent appeals to governments to ascertain the whereabouts and condition of those allegedly detained. It can also conduct fact-finding visits to countries that have extended an invitation to the Working Group. ==Membership== The current members of the Working Group are: *Mads Andenas 2009-2015 *Vladimir Tochilovsky 2010-2016 * Sètondji Roland Adjovi (Second Vice-Chair) 2014-2020 *Seong-Phil Hong (Chair-Rapporteur) 2014-2020 *José Antonio Guevara Bermúdez (First Vice-Chair) 2014-2020 *Secretary: Miguel de la Lama *Secretariat: Helle Dahl Iversen; Nathalie Montchovet *Consultant: Sulini Sarugaser-Hug Former members include: *Shaheen Sardar Ali *Tamás Bán *Manuela Carmena Castrillo *Roberto Garretón Merino *Seyyed Mohammad Hashemi *Laity Kama *Louis Joinet *Kapil Sibal *El Hadji Malick Sow *Petr Uhl *Soledad Villagra de Biedermann *Leïla Zerroügui 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Working Group on Arbitrary Detention」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
