The United Nations Human Rights Committee ‘believes that here the Covenant expresses a norm of general international law not subject to derogation.’38 Maintaining security and order is a fundamental right in the places of deprivation of liberty. Stemming from the human rights protection provisions, maintaining security is an integral part of the commitments taken by the state with regard to human rights protection.39 The objective of maintaining control and security is best attained in a humane and just prison system. Therefore, it would be wrong to assume that treating prisoners with humanity hinders safeguarding security and order in prisons. On the contrary, it is fundamental to ensuring that prisons are secure and safe. Good practice in prison management has shown that when the human rights and dignity of prisoners are respected and they are treated fairly, they are much less likely to cause disruption and disorder, and more likely to accept the authority of prison staff.40 In every country, there will be a certain number of prisoners considered to present particularly high security risks and hence require special conditions of detention. The perceived high security risks of such prisoners may result from the nature of the offences they have committed, the manner in which they react to the constraints of life in prison, or their psychological/psychiatric profile.41 Categorisation of convicted persons necessitates providing them with special conditions of deprivation of liberty. The perceived high security risk of such prisoners may result from the nature of the offences they have committed, the manner in which they react 38 39 40 41 The United Nations Human Rights Committee, General Comment no. 29, States of Emergency (Article 4), August 2001, para. 13.a).
