E/CN.4/2005/6/Add.3 page 23 88. The Working Group recommends that the judicial decision of forced placement in a psychiatric hospital should be taken in the presence of the person concerned, or of his or her family and lawyer, and that an adversarial judicial review should be provided on a periodic basis. 89. Finally, the Working Group strongly recommends that the Government allow outside oversight of prisons and other detention facilities, with a more active role of the civil society. At the same time, the Working Group believes that oversight of trials and proceedings in which human rights are involved, especially when it comes to deprivation of liberty, should be allowed. 90. These are the main recommendations expressed by the Working Group. It wishes that these be taken into account in the ongoing reform process undertaken by the Government. -----
