A rights restriction meant to keep someone safe but not approved legally must be what?

A rights restriction meant to keep someone safe but not legally approved must be time-limited because it recognizes the temporary nature of such measures. When a restriction is imposed without legal backing, it should ideally be seen as a short-term response to a specific situation to protect an individual from immediate harm. This approach allows for the reassessment of the restriction and promotes the restoration of full rights as soon as the situation that necessitated the restriction has passed.

In contrast, if the restriction were to be permanent, it could lead to prolonged violations of rights without sufficient justification or re-evaluation. Unlimited restrictions could result in an indefinite infringement, lacking a clear exit strategy for restoring rights. A universal restriction would imply a blanket application without considering individual circumstances, which contradicts the notion of tailored, compassionate responses aimed at keeping someone safe.
