Answer» What is Working Group on Arbitrary Detention mean? The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention is a body of independent human rights experts that investigate cases of arbitrary arrest and detention. Arbitrary arrest and detention is the imprisonment or detainment of an individual, by a State, without respect for due process. These actions may be in violation of international human rights law. The Working Group was established by resolution in 1991 by the former Commission on Human Rights. It is one of the thematic special procedures overseen by the United Nations Human Rights Council, and is therefore a subsidiary body of the UN. In 2019, Cambridge University Press published The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice, by international human rights lawyer Jared Genser, who has a 45–0 record litigating cases before the body. This 650-page treatise is the only book-length how to guide and commentary on the body's jurisprudence and Genser is now providing this book as a free, publicly available resource for others hoping to bring cases before the Working Group. reference
