202 This is ascribed to the fact that the resolutions issued by the current Government remained within the framework of general principles and the rules of disciplinary conduct which focuses on the significance of respect for human rights. Although the majority of these resolutions concentrated on the fulfillment of the conditions of detention by the Security Services, they have evidently overlooked the integrity of legal procedures in cases of arrest, detention, extension of terms and inspection since, in the absence of proper legal procedures, detention becomes contrary to law.

The current justice system proves to be unable to hold those in charge of murder, torture and ill‐treatment violations accountable for their deeds, which results in creating an environment of impunity, absence of transparency and the inability to respond to victims’ complaints.
