Annexes 9. Be accurate and precise. During the on-site visit it is important to collect sound and precise information in order to be able to draft well-documented reports and relevant recommendations. 10. Be sensitive. Particularly when interviewing detainees, visitors should be sensitive to the situation, mood and needs of the individual, as well as to the need to take the necessary steps to protect his or her security. In cases of allegations of torture and illtreatment, visitors should be aware of the problems of re-traumatization. 11. Be objective. Visitors must strive to record actual facts, and to deal with both staff and prisoners in a manner that is not coloured by feelings or preconceived opinions. VI. 51 12. Behave with integrity. Visitors should treat all detainees, authorities and staff, and their fellow visitors with decency and respect. They should not be motivated by self-interest and should be scrupulously honest. In all their dealings they should operate in accordance with the international human rights standards that they are mandated to uphold. 13. Be visible. Within the place of detention, visitors should make sure that staff and detainees are aware of the methodology and mandate of the visiting body, that they know how to approach them. Visitors should wear a badge or other means of identification. Outside the place of detention, the work of visiting mechanisms should be publicised through written reports and careful use of the media.
