Institute for Children and the Family has increased its budget for 2010, with the aim of improving the infrastructure of the centres. 4.National Preventive Mechanism The current Government has shown its clear, specific political will not to object to investigations, and to take on board constructive criticism. Likewise, there are situations arising from the institutional framework in which justice officials work that were clearly not caused by the current Government, but which the Government must address, in order to rectify any errors that may be made in the exercise of its responsibility to ensure the country’s stability and the safety of its inhabitants. Given the problems that pervade the entire system of deprivation of liberty and that affect all actors — police, prisoners and those outside — and the indifference or ignorance on the part of the justice system, the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Office of the National Commissioner for Human Rights (CONADEH), justice officials are aware that they need to act without delay to solve these problems. In addition, although the Subcommittee raised questions concerning the shortcomings in the human rights protection system, it is clear that the positive comments made regarding the establishment of a national preventive mechanism to guarantee the promotion and protection of the human rights of persons deprived of liberty in places of detention, will encourage the State to play a more active role in ensuring the protection of fundamental rights.
