CHAPTER 6 Suggestions and Recommendations In conclusion, within a past year, analysis of the activity of the Ombudsman in a capacity of NPM, gives the reason to stress that it was effective. This can be justified by the fundamental legal reforms taken and NPM activity, including monitoring, preventive visits and legal advocacy. The development of legal culture in the society stipulates not only ensuring the right of prohibition of torture, any other cruel, degrading treatment or punishment of a person, but also development of the rights entitled to him. As a consequence of the recommendations and suggestions made last year, the attitudes of the law-enforcement bodies, court executors, state authorities and high-ranking officials to the understanding and ensuring of human rights as well as their legal thinking has been significantly changed; and measures towards developing the management system.67 The Commissioner builds her activity in comply with Paris Principles as mentioned below: promotes compliance of the national laws and experience to international human rights documents by which the State is bound as well as their implementation; ensures acceding to international legal documents, application of those international norms into practice and taking relevant measures by the State; assists to preparation reports to UN agencies, regional institutions concerning measures taken as specified in international treaties by the State being bound upon, gives her opinion to these reports as an independent mechanism, and submits her complementary report to the mentioned international institutions; During 2015, within the above stated directions have been carried out by accompany of NPM preventive monitoring and legal awareness. Preventive measures contributed to legal and infrastructural reforms, ensuring of the rights of detainees as well as to identification of the needs and impediments.
