To this end, the SPT, in its Assessment Tools for NPMs confirms that NPMs should establish a strategy for cooperation with other national and international actors.306 In line with the Paris Principles, the SPT suggests that engagement should encompass “a wide range of national actors.”307 It furthermore adds, that NPMs should be “creative” in finding solutions and partnerships should be formed to “raise awareness of the obligations of the States parties among decision makers and the general public in order to encourage and facilitate change in legislation, policies made by authorities, general attitudes, and conditions and practices in places of detention.”308 306 SPT, Assessment Tool for NPMs, para. 43, 17. 307 Ibidem. 308 SPT Assessment Tool, para. 17. 84
