    Abstract:
    The Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 1988, Part VIII, Fundamental Rights and Freedoms of the Individual, states that every person in the Islands is entitled to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual, regardless of race, place of origin, political opinions, color, creed, or sex, subject to respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the public interest. Those rights include: life, liberty, security of the person, and protection of the law; freedom of conscience, of expression, of assembly, and association and protection for the privacy of the home and other property and from deprivation of property without compensation. No person shall be hindered in the enjoyment of freedom of movement throughout the Islands, including residing in any part, entering the Island, and immunity from expulsion. Limiting movement or residence within the Islands or limiting leaving the Islands, when reasonably required, shall be permitted: in the interests of defence, public safety, public order, public mortality, or public health; for protecting the rights and freedoms of other persons, unless shown not to be reasonably justifiable in a democratic society; for extradition for trail or punishment in another country for a criminal offence; public officers may have movement or residence limited when reasonable required for the purpose of ensuring the proper performance of their function; when a person does not belong to the Islands; for the imposition of restrictions on the acquisition or use by any person of land or other property in the Islands; for the imposition of restrictions, by court order in consequence of being found guilty of a criminal offence, or for purposes of ensuring a fair trial, or the persons later appearance in court; and for the imposition of restrictions reasonably required to secure the fulfillment of court-imposed obligations.
