CAT/C/60/3 61. The Subcommittee hopes that the Fund — the only such fund established under a human rights convention — is properly supported, thus reflecting the commitment of States parties and other actors working for the prevention of torture. 62. With the experience gained thus far and supported by the renewed impetus generated by a change in membership, the Subcommittee expects to further develop and refine its working methods in 2017. The Subcommittee anticipates that it will spend more time in the coming year working to fully systematize its working practices and methods, in order to allow it to give greater focus to addressing thematic and procedural issues referred to the Subcommittee by national preventive mechanisms and other stakeholders. It will also be vigorously pursuing the development of new approaches to dialogue with States parties that arises from its own visiting work. E. Plan of work 63. It is appropriate to conclude by highlighting the programme of future visits announced by the Subcommittee at its twenty-ninth and thirtieth sessions. As in the past, when identifying countries to visit, the Subcommittee engaged in a reasoned process, considering a broad variety of factors, including making optimal use of information received from, among others, the States parties and national preventive mechanisms, making the most effective and efficient use of the resources available and ensuring there is appropriate engagement with the full range of States parties. In addition, the Subcommittee continues to take into careful consideration the dates of ratification or accession, developments regarding national preventive mechanisms, geographic factors, the size and practical complexity of the States to be visited, relevant preventive monitoring at the regional level and other specific or urgent issues. The aim is to ensure that the overall effectiveness of its work is maximized. 64. The Subcommittee has decided that it will no longer produce annual visiting programmes. Rather, it will announce on a periodic basis the next countries to be included in its programme of visits. To that end, it has already announced that visits will, in due course, be taking place to Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Hungary, Mongolia, Panama, Rwanda, Spain and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The next group of visits will be announced at the end of its thirty-first session. 65. Lastly, the Subcommittee must reiterate the request for more plenary meeting time, highlighted above. After 10 years of work, the demands on the Subcommittee’s time are greater than ever and are set to rise even further as the Subcommittee seeks to intensify its work with national preventive mechanisms and on post-visit dialogue. The organizational work in which the Subcommittee must engage and the number of meetings it holds with States parties and others during plenary sessions continue to grow exponentially, as does the desire of international and intergovernmental organizations to meet and work collaboratively with the Subcommittee. The working relationships with the Committee against Torture, the Special Rapporteur on Torture and the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture continue to deepen, which is most welcome. It is, however, increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to continue along this positive trajectory without additional meeting time and support capacity. The time has come for a step change in support for the Subcommittee and its work in preventing torture. 12
