CHAPTER III
PROTECTION OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
OF THE INDIVIDUAL
Fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual
11. Whereas every person in Barbados is entitled to the fundamental
rights and freedoms of the individual, that is to say, the right, whatever his
race, place of origin, political opinions, color, creed or sex, but subject to
respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the public interest, to
each and all of the following, namely -
a. life, liberty and security of the person;
b. protection for the privacy of his home and other property and from
deprivation of property without compensation;
c. the protection of the law; and
d. freedom of conscience, of expression and of assembly and association,
the following provisions of this Chapter shall have effect for the purpose of
affording protection to those rights and freedoms subject to such limitations
of that protection as are contained in those provisions, being limitations
designed to ensure that the enjoyment of the said rights and freedoms by any
individual does not prejudice the rights and freedoms of others or the public
interest.
