When someone has been imprisoned, even partially, he could be the subject of violations of the human rights. To establish some requirements for the management of non-custodial measures, international instruments have been elaborated. The most important international instrument are the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Non-Custodial Measures, adopted by the General Assembly in its resolution 45/110 in December 1990 and also known as the Tokyo Rules. The Rules stipulate legal protections to ensure the impartial application of non-custodial measures within a transparent legal system, ensuring the protection of the offenders rights and the resort to a formal complaint system if ever they feel that their rights have been violated.
