Mtskheta-Mtianeti; Samtskhe-Javakheti; Samegrelo and Guria regions as well as in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara.

The Status of recommendation implementation The purpose of this subchapter is to review the recommendations issued in the 2019 report of the National Preventive Mechanism for the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (hereinafter - the Ministry) and the state of their implementation.252 Additional information on these issues is provided in the relevant thematic subchapters. The status of implementation of the recommendations issued as a result of the emergency monitoring carried out at the Temporary Accommodation Center of the Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is separately discussed in the subchapter.253 The Public Defender positively assesses the cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of particular note is the dialogue with the Migration Department's Temporary Accommodation Center and the Temporary Accommodation Department and the positive level of implementation of the recommendations. The Public Defender issued 11 recommendations to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia in the special report on the monitoring carried out at the Temporary Accommodation Center, out of which 6 recommendations were implemented, 2 recommendations were partly implemented, and 3 recommendations were not implemented. During the reporting period a working meeting was held at the initiative of the Director of the Migration Department, where the recommendations issued to the Temporary Accommodation Center were discussed in a constructive dialogue mode. At the meeting, the representatives of the Migration Department informed the representatives of the National Preventive Mechanism about the implemented recommendations as well as the activities planned for the implementation of the recommendations in the near future, which is a positive example and it is important to extend it to other areas of the Ministry. Creating a human rights-based police system is unimaginable without proper consideration of the international standards. Despite the positive steps taken by the Ministry in various directions, citizens under police control are not provided with sufficient guarantees of protection from torture and illtreatment. It is unfortunate that most of the systemic recommendations issued to the Ministry of Internal Affairs over the years are still unfulfilled. The Public Defender expresses readiness, through close cooperation and communication with the Ministry, to enable substantial changes in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to raise human rights standards.
