number of video cameras had been increased, besides the activities undertaken by the staff. ● the staff members’ failure to perform professional training courses, especially given the behavioural diversity of beneficiaries in neuro-psychiatric recovery and rehabilitation centres.(C.R.R.N. Plătărești, Călărași county).Recommendation: the staff should take part in professional training courses on crisis management, considering the beneficiaries’ behavioural diversity. Answer: The centre mentioned that the staff did not take part in professional training courses. Recommendations/proposals to change the legislative framework Monitoring bodies (NPMs) play a central part in defending the rights of persons deprived from freedom. Their preventive mandate, providing access to all detention places, confers them a unique position, as they are able to report on the encountered realities and provide recommendations with a view to improving relevant practices. The mandate goes beyond visits and the check of material conditions, including an assessment of the general management and constructive dialogue with authorities, with a view to finding solutions to prevent abuse. In most visited neuro-psychiatric recovery and rehabilitation centres for adults with disabilities, beneficiaries with no reasoning were identified, who had no legal representatives appointed, though art. 111 NCC stipulates the centres’ obligation to notify the court for guardianship. Regarding this, the Committee for the rights of persons with disabilities interpreted article 12 of the Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, in its General Comment 1, establishing that mechanisms to substitute the decisions of persons with disabilities should be replaced by supporting mechanisms for decision making, ensuring a person’s autonomy and choices. The direct effect of the failure to ensure legal capacity is the ignorance of the person’s consent in all spheres of his/her life, but especially in terms of institutionalisation in various psychiatric institutions and the administration of treatment. The committee for the rights of persons with disabilities decided that there is a close connection between the failure to ensure a person’s legal capacity, discrimination and forced medical intervention, which may result in torture or inhuman or degrading treatment in some cases. 128
