Párrafo
Paragraph text
At the regional level, the right to take proceedings before a court in order to decide on the lawfulness of detention is provided by article 7 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, article 7 of the American Convention on Human Rights, article 14 of the Arab Charter on Human Rights and article 5, paragraph 4, of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Special Rapporteur has been made aware of several instances where that right has been restricted, inter alia through long delays between the beginning of detention and the date of the first review procedure.
