The Advisory Council of Jurists observes and recommends: 1. National security concerns need to be balanced with the human rights guarantees in Mongolia’s constitution and international treaties to which Mongolia is a party, as well as customary rules of international law. 2. Care must be taken that provisions in the Criminal Code incorporating reference to terrorist activities are not used to stifle legitimate political dissent and other fundamental freedoms or to target vulnerable groups. 3. The 14 day detention period under the Criminal Procedure Code for a suspect is in contravention of the principle of Article 9 of the ICCPR and Principle 11 of the Body of Principles on Detention. The application of this same detention period to minors additionally contravenes the principles of the CRC and the Beijing Rules. 227 Article 16(1), Constitution of Mongolia 1992. 228 Article 16(10), Constitution of Mongolia 1992. 229 Article 16(13), Constitution of Mongolia 1992. 230 Article 16(16), Constitution of Mongolia 1992.
