61 Part 2 The impact on the witness and their family must also be assessed, as they may not have the ability to adjust and cope with such a major change in circumstances. 2.2 Crime Scenes and the Seizure and Retention of Evidence 2.2.1 Crime Scene Examination 60616263 A central element of the investigation of any terrorist crime will be the examination of the crime scene, be this the site of an explosion or shooting, a bomb factory, or some other location. This stage of investigation might be thought not to give rise to any human rights implications. More careful consideration, however, will reveal that a number of human rights standards come into play. Human rights standards involved in crime scene examination include: • Right to life; • Prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; • Respect for private and family life;60 • Right to the enjoyment of just and favourable conditions of work;61 • Freedom of movement;62 and • Property rights.63 60 61 62 63 OSCE commitments and international standards, op. cit., notes 20, 21, 25.
