The international human rights instrument contains the postulate that the criminal justice system should be fair, in the sense, that it must be devised in accordance with the principles of natural justice. Every human being under the international human rights instruments has been guaranteed the inherent right to life, and the state has an obligation to protect this right. The broader implication of this right is that the inherent dignity should be protected by the state with which one can lead his life decently.

 
 
 

Fundamentally, international human rights jurisprudence guarantees the right to inherent dignity to all persons, and without prejudice all the persons deprived of their liberty should be treated with respect to the inherent dignity of the human person. Every human being under the international human rights instruments has been guaranteed the inherent right to life, and the state has an obligation to protect this right. The broader implication of this right is that the inherent dignity should be protected by the state with which one can lead his life decently.

Realizing the fact that life and personal liberty go hand in hand, it vouchsafes that everyone has the right to liberty and security guaranteed against arbitrary deprivation by the state.1 These two rights are very much vital and have far-reaching effects and significant relevance in the administration of criminal justice.
Appreciating the importance of life and personal liberty, human rights jurisprudence guaranteed the same by providing that no one shall be deprived of his liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with the procedure established by law.
