In 41.13% of cases, the problem was resolved: either for the person, or for the future, or in a
partial manner (versus 48.70% in 2016).
Finally, as regards the actions taken, the Chief Inspector sent recommendations to the
authorities called upon in 21.97% of cases (versus 13.35% in 2016). Corrective measures resulting
from the inquiry addressed by the CGLPL to the authorities concerned were taken in nearly 13.52%
of cases (versus 15.71% in 2016). No special follow-up was given by the Contrôleur général in 38.31%
of inquiry case-files (versus 42.14% in 2016), either because no violation of a fundamental right was
proven, or because the person deprived of liberty was transferred or released and the fundamental
right in question could not be dissociated from his or her individual situation, or due to a lack of
information justifying the issue of recommendations or a call for vigilance.
