This article has been written by Oishika Banerji of Amity Law School, Kolkata. This article discusses the concept of the right to safety in context of not only consumer rights and hazardous waste but also a range of aspects affected by its non-implementation. This article has been published by Sneha Mahawar .

In places vulnerable to natural disasters, effective risk reduction has a long history. However, attempts to lower risk have been outpaced by the size of urban vulnerability and the rate of its rise. Other significant barriers include complex socioeconomic and institutional environments. Scaling up is a particularly difficult task since, up until now, most urban risk reduction projects have been small-scale, one-time events that frequently concentrated on a single risk factor or hazard. To encourage broad-based, multidisciplinary catastrophe risk reduction and to integrate mitigation into development planning, new strategies are required. In both urban and rural contexts, mainstreaming could be facilitated by the idea of a ‘right to safety’. The concept has been addressed in broad strokes. However, there are issues with its practical implementation. It has not advanced much outside of academic circles as a result of this. Another viewpoint in r...

It focuses on protecting individuals’ freedom from unreasonable detention, as opposed to protecting personal safety. You have a right to your personal freedom. This means you must not be imprisoned or detained without good reason. If you are arrested, the Human Rights Act provides that you have the right to: • be told in a language you understand why you have been arrested and what charges you face • be takento court promptly • bail (temporary release while the court process continues), subject to certain conditions • have a trial within a reasonable time • go to court to challenge your detention if you think it is unlawful, and • compensation if you have been unlawfully detained. There are certain circumstances in which public authorities can detain you as long as they act within the law. This applies, for example, if: • you have been found guilty of a crime and sent to prison • you have not done something a court has ordered you to do • there is reasonable suspicion that you have committed a crime, someone is trying to stop you committing a crime or they are trying to stop you running away from a crime • you have a mental health condition which makes it necessary to detain you • you are capable of spreading infectious disease • you are attempting to enter the country illegally, and • you are going to be deported or extradited (sent to a country where you have been accused of a crime).

I could not find any interpretation of the US constitution that US citizens have the right of life and safety. So what is the constitutional base for laws of crimes against the person (murder, battery, rape...)? Does the provision of the 5th amendment "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" applies also against criminals or it is intended only against government? You have a couple major misconceptions about US law. First, crimes against the person are generally punished at the state level. States are not restricted to any sort of enumerated powers, and can pass any law they want to promote the general welfare unless there's a reason they can't. This is called the "general police power," and it lets them make everything from contract law to laws against murder. The federal government has to justify what gives it the authority to pass a law, and cities and counties have to justify their authority with state law or a state constitution, but a state government never has to preemptively justify why they have the authority to pass a law. States are especially not limited to powers listed in the federal constitution. The US Constitution sets up the federal government. State governments are set up by state constitutions, and derive their authority directly from the consent of the people of the state exercising their right to democratic self-determination. The only powers the US Constitution gives to states are minor technical powers involving state-...
