At the end of the current reporting period, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland pledged to support the Special Fund established by the Optional Protocol. 31. The Subcommittee wishes to express its gratitude to these States for their generous contributions. 32. In accordance with article 26, paragraph 1, of the Optional Protocol, the purpose of the Special Fund is to help finance the implementation of Subcommittee recommendations, as well as educational programmes of the national preventive mechanisms. The Subcommittee is convinced that the Special Fund has the potential to be a valuable tool in furthering prevention and it is therefore pleased that a scheme to operationalize the fund has been agreed upon and action will be taken thereon within the forthcoming reporting period. This will be an interim scheme administered by OHCHR and will consider applications relating to recommendations contained in published Subcommittee visit reports concerning particular thematic issues, these to be determined by the Subcommittee in plenary. When finalized, full details of the scheme will be publicized and brought to the particular attention of those States able to benefit therefrom. The Subcommittee very much hopes that the initiation of this scheme will encourage further donations to the Special Fund, in order to allow it to help States implement the Subcommittee’s recommendations on prevention.
