Human Rights Angle
Action against drug trafficking is important to protect communities, particularly young people, from the harmful effects of drugs. However, law-enforcement agencies must also ensure due process, transparent investigation, the rights of detainees and fair judicial proceedings during arrests and investigations.
The accused has the legal right to defend himself before a court and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
