Arbitrary detention in the Charter is primarily outlined in which section?

Arbitrary detention is primarily addressed in Section 9 of the Charter. This section explicitly states that everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned. The language emphasizes the importance of lawful detention, ensuring that individuals are not deprived of their freedom without just cause or proper legal process. This protection is a fundamental part of ensuring personal liberty and upholding the rule of law in a democratic society.

Section 5 pertains to the right to life, liberty, and security of the person but does not specifically outline arbitrary detention. Section 7 deals primarily with the right to life, liberty, and security, along with aspects of legal rights but does not directly address arbitrary detention either. Section 12 focuses on protection against cruel and unusual treatment or punishment. While all these sections contribute to the broader framework of rights and freedoms in the Charter, Section 9 directly defines and protects against arbitrary detention.
