Detention/Incarceration

Japanese: 抑留･拘禁 - よくりゅうこうきん

Both terms refer to the restriction of bodily freedom, but the Japanese Constitution distinguishes between the two. It is understood that "arrest" refers to a temporary restriction of bodily freedom, while "confinement" refers to a continuous restriction of freedom. According to Article 34 of the Constitution, "No person shall be arrested or detained without being at once informed of the reasons for his arrest and without the immediate right to counsel. Nor shall anyone be detained without sufficient cause, and upon request such reasons shall be immediately shown in an open court in the presence of the person and his counsel" (see Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights).

Japanese:

いずれも身体の自由を拘束することをいうが，日本国憲法は両者を区別している。〈抑留〉は一時的な身体の自由の拘束をさし，〈拘禁〉は継続的な自由の拘束をさすと解されている。憲法第34条によれば，〈何人も，理由を直ちに告げられ，且つ，直ちに弁護人に依頼する権利を与へられなければ，抑留又は拘禁されない。又，何人も，正当な理由がなければ，拘束されず，要求があれば，その理由は，直ちに本人及びその弁護人の出席する公開の法廷で示されなければならない〉(なお，国際人権規約B規約9条参照)。
