Detention is the exception, which may be justified in the concrete circumstances of a case (a) to ensure a person’s appearance at trial whenever there is a serious danger that he or she may abscond; (b) to prevent him or her from obstructing or endangering the investigation or the court proceedings; or (c) to prevent a repetition of the kind of conduct of which he or she is suspected. daccess-ods.un.org

However, the provision under which the alien would be given no notice to prepare for his or her departure if “there is reason to believe that the alien in question could abscond during such a period” constituted a vague and totally subjective exception and seemed to negate the first part of the paragraph. daccess-ods.un.org

但是，如果“有理由认为当事外国人 可能在此期间潜逃”，则可以不通知被驱逐的外国人作离境准备，这条规定是一个含糊而且完全主观的例外规定，似乎否定了本款的第一部分。

Some members nevertheless proposed the deletion of the reference to the expelling State’s freedom to shorten the period of notice if there was reason to believe that the alien in question could abscond during that period; the vague, subjective nature of that freedom seemed to weaken paragraph 3. daccess-ods.un.org

The third point that I would bring to the Council’s attention is that I think there is a chance (I could not put it higher than that) the “substantial grounds” test might lead to bail being granted simply because the prosecution cannot produce evidence to establish that the accused person would abscond, would commit an evidence or would interfere with the course of justice.

我要向本局指出的第三点是，我认为有机会（我只是说有机会而已）出现以下的情况，就是採用“甚有理由相信”的准则，可能导致被告获准保释，而原因纯粹只 是控方未能提供证据证明被告会潜逃、犯罪或妨碍司法公正。
