In order to redress the ill-treatment of persons deprived of their liberty, I may make a
recommendation either to the head of the institution subject to inquiry 139 or the head of its
supervisory organ.140 While performing tasks related to the NPM in 2017, I requested the heads of
the places of detention visited to take measures in 130 cases. I made another 73 recommendations
to the heads of the organs exercising supervision over the places of detention visited.
-
In order to redress an uncovered impropriety related to a fundamental right, the Commissioner for
Fundamental Rights may initiate proceedings for the supervision of legality by the competent
prosecutor through the Prosecutor General. 141 In 2017, I availed myself of this opportunity in
connection with four issues.
-
If an impropriety uncovered during the visits can be attributed to a superfluous, ambiguous or
inappropriate provision of a legal rule, or to the lack or deficiency of the legal regulation of the
given matter, I may propose to modify, repeal or prepare a legal rule.142 In 2017, in the wake of the
NPM’s visits, I made 17 legislative initiatives.143
-
If, in the course of my inquiry, I notice an impropriety related to the protection in the course of
personal data, to the right of access to data of public interest, or to data public on grounds of public
interest, I may report it to the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of
Information.144 I did not exercise this power in 2017.145
