This dissertation highlights the role of the Working Group
on Arbitrary Detention, as an evidence of the evolution of
the mechanisms of control at the level of the Commission on
Human Rights. Throughout time, extra-conventional
mechanisms at the disposal of the Commission on Human
Rights have undergone a remarkable evolution. In this
context, thematic mechanisms gathered momentum, among which
the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention -created in 1991-
stands out. This group focuses on the investigation of the
arbitrary character of detentions imposed on specific
individuals, applying to any member of the United Nations,
even those that are not party to treaties or conventions.
It acts, as well, protected from political pressures, only
based on the expertise of its five expert-members to present
its opinions. Given the objectivity and non-selectivity of
its performance and considering its capacity of effectively
protecting specific individuals, the Working Group on
Arbitrary Detention represents a worthy instrument of
investigation and control in the hands of the Commission.
