A/HRC/16/47 The Working Group states that norms of international human rights law protecting individuals against arbitrary detention shall be complied with by Governments even during periods of armed conflict. The report emphasises that no jurisdiction should allow for individuals to be deprived of their liberty in secret for potentially indefinite periods without the possibility of resorting to legal procedures, including habeas corpus. The Working Group also raises concerns over reprisals suffered by a judge and individuals who were the subject of its urgent appeals or Opinions. It also devotes attention to the revision of its methods of work and has provided a new text in Annex IV. To enable the Working Group to report more systematically and comprehensively, it reiterates its proposal to the Human Rights Council to expand the mandate of the Working Group to include the examination of conditions of detention around the world, and the monitoring of State compliance with obligations concerning all human rights of detained and imprisoned persons. 2
