As
a
matter
of
principle
,
it
has
already
been
decided
that
the
imposition
of
preventive
detention
on
a
convicted
offender
after
the
service
of
a
prison
sentence
,
even
when
it
was
feared
that
he
might
be
a
danger
to
the
community
in
the
future
and
for
purposes
of
his
rehabilitation
,
violates
Article
9
§
1
of
the
International
Covenant
on
Civil
and
Political
Rights.[206
]
The
retrospective
application
of
such
penalty
,
even
when
nominally
characterised
as
“
civil
proceedings
”
,
falls
within
the
prohibition
of
Article
15
of
the
Covenant.[207
]
Furthermore
,
the
United
Nations
has
on
several
occasions
voiced
its
concern
about
the
number
of
persons
in
preventive
detention
in
Germany
and
the
duration
of
such
detention
,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
conditions
of
detention
have
not
been
in
line
with
human
rights
requirements
in
the
past[208
