Original: French can lead to other violations such as torture , ill-treatment or interrogation without appropriate protection measures 19 . 80. The Court is of the opinion that deprivation of liberty, regardless of its form , is permitted only when it is in conformity with procedures established by domestic legislation which itself should be consistent with international human rights standards. 81. Article 6 of the Charter provides that: "Every individual shall have the right to liberty and to the security of his person. No one may be deprived of his freedom except for reasons and conditions previously laid down by law. In particular, no one may be arbitrarily arrested or detained". 82 . As such , every deprivation of liberty must meet a number of minimum guarantees commonly enshrined 1n international human rights instruments , in particular in Article 9 of the ICCPR which is also applicable in the instant case . 83. Under Article 9 of the ICCPR, the aforesaid guarantees are: "2- Everyone who is arrested shall be informed, at the time of arrest, of the reasons for his arrest and shall be promptly informed of any charges against him" 20 . "3- Anyone arrested or detained on a crim inal charge shall be brought promptly before a judge or other officer authorised by law to exercise judicial power and shall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to release. It shall not be the general rule that persons awaiting trial shall be detained in custody but release may be subject to guarantees 19 African Commission on Huma n Communication 250/02, para. 55 a nd Peoples' Rights, LiesbeLh Zegveld and Mussie/Eritrea, 201n General Comment No. 8, the Human Rights Committee notes: "111 the view of the Committee, delays must not exceed a few days". yr;; c/ / ~r ~ ~ 29 ~ At.~/1 !~jf ~ E(.o . s_
