Enforced disappearances violate numerous human rights, including the right to liberty, the right to be free from torture and other ill-treatment, and the right to a fair trial.

In some jurisdictions, authorities may detain individuals as a preventive measure, ostensibly to prevent future crimes or maintain public order. However, such detention can be considered illegal if it is not based on sufficient evidence of wrongdoing or if it exceeds the limits of legal authority

This occurs when individuals are detained without proper legal justification or without adherence to due process rights. It may involve detaining individuals based on their political beliefs, ethnicity, religion, or other arbitrary factors, rather than legitimate legal grounds
