8.4.2 Search Procedures
This section outlines the procedures for conducting searches of third parties under certain circumstances, such as at access control points. Here are the key points:
-
Circumstances for Search:
-
The organization's operational procedures should specify the circumstances under which third parties may be subjected to searches for weapons or contraband. These circumstances should be clearly defined and compliant with applicable laws and regulations.
-
Respect for Human Rights and Dignity:
-
It's essential to emphasize in the procedures that all searches of persons must be conducted in accordance with fundamental human rights. This includes respecting cultural considerations and personal dignity during the search process.
By having clear and respectful search procedures in place, the organization can ensure that security measures are carried out effectively while upholding the rights and dignity of individuals being searched. This helps maintain a balance between security needs and human rights considerations.
