On 11 December 2019, the training ‘Supervision of life sentences based on human rights: areas for improvement’ was organised at the Seimas Ombudsmen’s Office for staff of correctional institutions. During the training, the objectives and principles of prevention checks were presented, the importance of a preventive EVERYONE COUNTS 11 approach was stressed, and the underlying provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights were analysed. Representatives of the Seimas Ombudsmen’s Office reminded the staff of correctional institutions that the main objective of the implementation of human rights in the process of execution of sentences is to ensure proper detention conditions for convicted, protection against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and to provide opportunities for the convicted to change their lives and have a positive impact on their own future. During the training, the staff of correctional institutions could check their knowledge by performing practical exercises during which they had difficulty in identifying hidden potential violations of human rights and risks in terms of human rights.
