See, e.g., Int'l Covenant on Civ. and Pol. Rights, art. 9(4), 1999 U.N.T.S. 171 ("Anyone who is deprived of his liberty by arrest or detention shall be entitled to take proceedings before a court, in order 369 A172379801.I that the court may decide without delay on the lawfulness of his detention and order his release if the detention is not lawful."); American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, art. 18, O.A.S.
