The case-files newly opened in 2016 primarily concerned access to health care, as far as
penal institutions are concerned; for administrative detention, they concerned dignity and legal
information and advice; for health institutions, they concerned dignity and freedom of movement;
and for custody facilities they concerned legal information and advice and property rights.
The six main fundamental rights on which the newly opened inquiries focused this year are
the same as in 2015: access to health care, maintaining family ties, dignity, physical integrity, legal
information and advice and access to activities and work.

Verification findings to the closing of the case-file
For the second year in a row, the CGLPL is able to give indications on the findings of the
verifications carried out with the authorities with which cases are taken up. In order to report these
findings, a distinction has been drawn between any violations of fundamental rights, the results
obtained for the person concerned and action taken as regards the authorities.
The data below shows that a violation has been proven (even partially) in 57.07% of case files closed between 1 January and 30 November 2016 (versus 52.68% in 2015).
In 48.70% of case files, the problem has been resolved: either for the person, or for the
future, or in a partial manner (versus 52.68% in 2015).
Finally, as regards the actions taken, the Chief inspector sent recommendations to the
authorities called upon in 13.35% of cases (versus 12.75% in 2015). Corrective measures resulting
from the inquiry addressed by the CGLPL to the authorities concerned were taken in 15.71% of
cases (versus 9.91% in 2015). No special follow-up was given by the chief inspectorate in 42.14%
of inquiry case-files (versus 54.19% in 2015), either because no violation of a fundamental right was
proven, or because the person deprived of liberty was transferred or released and the fundamental
right in question could not be dissociated from his or her individual situation, or due to a lack of
information justifying the issue of recommendations or a call for vigilance.
Out of the 386 case-files closed during the first eleven months of 2016, the following results
were obtained:
