What are the legal consequences for violating the rights of detainees?
The law is required to provide for both penal and civil sanctions for those who violate the rights of persons under investigation. Additionally, the state must provide compensation and rehabilitation for the victims of torture. These protections also extend to the families of those who have been victimized by such practices. According to Article III Section 12 1987 Philippine Constitution, the law must actively address these violations. “(4) The law shall provide for penal and civil sanctions for violations of this section as well as compensation to and rehabilitation of victims of torture or similar practices, and their families.” 28-Jan-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
