A/HRC/19/61/Add.1 delayed. The Special Rapporteur further observes that prisoners are not necessarily or sufficiently informed of their rights to make a complaint and that there are no mechanisms in place to protect the complainants against reprisals by the prison administration.7 95. The Special Rapporteur notes that the judicial system faces a great challenge to deliver justice for past cases as quickly as possible while conducting effective and fair investigations. He also recognizes that the severe shortfall of professional human resources and technical capacity pose obstacles to the possibility of completing criminal investigations in complex cases. The Special Rapporteur believes that silence and lack of transparency about these limitations trigger frustration with and mistrust of the system. 96. While welcoming the closure of the basement on the premises of the Ministry of the Interior, the Special Rapporteur calls upon the Government to ensure that the interrogation rooms within the headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior are dismantled, and that the secrecy and the legacy of this building and the evidentiary legacy of the torture facilities is finally revealed to the public. Such measures will be essential among the steps the Ministry of the Interior will have to take to rebuild its public image and trust. 97. While welcoming the dissolution of the so-called political police, and the arrest and ongoing trial and prosecution of several security officers, including high-ranking officials, the Special Rapporteur remains concerned that members of the State Security Department known to be responsible for human rights violations have been reintegrated in the system. 98. While welcoming the work of the fact-finding commission, the Special Rapporteur calls on the authorities to ensure that the misperception that the commission somehow supplants the judicial process of determining responsibility and/or liability for violations is addressed and that the public knows when the findings of the commission will be released. B. Recommendations 99. In a spirit of cooperation and partnership, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government, with the assistance of the international community (the United Nations and other actors), take decisive steps to implement the following recommendations. 1. Impunity 100.
