This article aims to analyze legal, as well as human and theoretical approaches that allow us to understand the importance of Habeas Corpus as an ideal mechanism for the protection of the right to personal freedom and the need for its application in accordance with the law, to which are made reflections and current assessments. It is based on a qualitative methodological strategy through which a variety of procedures and techniques are used for the collection of information, with a predominance of the bibliographic and documentary review, the historical-logical and synthetic analytical methods to specify analysis that allow obtaining as a result the socialization of reflections, explanations and arguments about the role of the aforementioned mechanism, which ultimately turns out to be a legal institution to protect personal freedom from arbitrary or illegal detentions.

Keywords : Habeas corpus; summary judicial procedure; personal freedom; arbitrary detention.
