MONITORING METHODOLOGY
At the domestic level, national monitoring mechanisms must be aware of the visits
and reporting process of international or regional human rights mechanisms and
take into account all their relevant findings, recommendations and conclusions
See – detailed list here below. Additionally, they can send information and/or their
reports to international or regional human rights mechanisms.
It can also be useful to stay informed of the work of field offices of international
organizations (OHCHR Field Offices, Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe); of the International Committee of the Red Cross; of several civil society
organisations that have a specific focus on deprivation of liberty, children’s rights
and/or juvenile justice such as APT (Association for the Prevention of Torture),
DCI (Defense for Children International), FiDH (International Federation of Human
Rights Leagues), OIJJ (International Juvenile Justice Observatory), OIP (Observatoire
International des Prisons), OMCT (World Organization Against Torture), PRI (Penal
Reform International), Save the Children, TDH (Terre des Hommes), The Howard
League for Penal Reform, etc…
