The Right to Liberty and Security of Person

Abstract

The right to liberty and security is one of the fundamental rights of the individual in a democratic society. Personal freedom as a universally recognized value is at the core of this right. Guarantees related to the exercise of its aim to protect the physical liberty of the individual against arbitrary action of the authorities, resulting in illegal or unjustified deprivation of liberty. Precisely in the light of personal liberty, the right to security is seen as a right of any individual human being to be protected from the arbitrariness of the authority.
