CAT/C/LVA/CO/3-5 (b) Ensure that all complaints of violations with regard to handcuffing are promptly, effectively and independently investigated and the persons responsible are held to account. Redress, including compensation and rehabilitation 22. The Committee is concerned that there is no explicit provision in domestic legislation that provides for the right of victims of torture and ill-treatment to fair and adequate compensation, including the means for as full rehabilitation as possible, as required by article 14 of the Convention. It is also concerned that specific rehabilitation services have not been established and regrets the lack of data regarding the amount of any compensation awards made by the courts to victims of violations of the Convention and on any treatment and social rehabilitation services provided to victims, including medical and psychosocial rehabilitation (art. 14). The State party should amend its legislation to include explicit provisions on the right of victims of torture and ill-treatment to redress, including fair and adequate compensation and rehabilitation, in accordance with article 14 of the Convention. It should, in practice, provide all victims of torture or ill-treatment with redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible, regardless of whether perpetrators of such acts have been brought to justice. It should allocate the necessary resources for the effective implementation of rehabilitation programmes. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to its general comment No. 3 (2012) on the implementation of article 14 by States parties, which clarifies the content and scope of the obligations of States parties to provide full redress to victims of torture. Persons with disabilities 23. While taking note of the amendments to the Law on Medical Treatment and trends toward deinstitutionalization in the State party, the Committee is concerned at information that disadvantaged or low-income patients accommodated in psycho-neurological medical institutions who are allowed to leave are unable to do so for lack of living space, work and means of subsistence (arts. 2, 11 and 16). The State party should: (a) Ensure adequate social conditions, including living space, work and means of subsistence, for disadvantaged or low-income patients accommodated in medical institutions to enable them to leave those institutions; (b) Establish an independent complaints mechanism and counsel and effectively, promptly and impartially investigate all complaints of ill-treatment of persons with mental and psychosocial disabilities in psychiatric institutions, bring those responsible to justice and provide redress; (c) Ensure effective legal safeguards for all persons with mental and psychosocial disabilities and comply with the recommendations of the Ombudsman regarding the keeping of records in such a way that a patient’s consent is requested both in hospitalizing him or her and determining his or her psychiatric medical treatment in the institutions. Other issues 24. The Committee reiterates its recommendation that the State party consider making the declarations under articles 21 and 22 of the Convention. 9
