Izvajanje nalog in pooblastil državnega preventivnega mehanizma od začetka delovanja v letu 2008 do leta 2014 Pripravljenih je bilo 31 (končnih) poročil o naših obiskih, čeprav je bilo skupno opravljenih 39 obiskov različnih ustanov, a se, če se istega dne opravljajo obiski več PP, o tem obisku pripravi le eno poročilo. V 27 primerih so (predhodno oziroma) končno poročilo o obisku pripravili Varuhovi predstavniki, v enem primeru predstavnik PIC, v treh pa predstavnik SKUP. Some 31 (final) reports on our visits were drafted; although a total of 39 visits to different institutions were conducted, only one report is prepared on that visit if several police stations are visited in one day. In 27 cases, the (preliminary or) final report on the visit was prepared by the Ombudsman’s representatives; in one case, the report was drafted by a PIC representative and in three cases a representative of SKUP. Sklep Conclusion Menimo, da je Varuh z uvedbo Opcijskega protokola zagotovil učinkovito izvajanje nalog in pooblastil DPM. Hkrati se je z vključitvijo nevladnih in humanitarnih organizacij v izvajanje nalog in pooblastil DPM povečala tudi transparentnost Varuhovega delovanja na tem področju, kar zagotavlja še kakovostnejše izvajanje prevzetih nalog po ratifikaciji Opcijskega protokola. Taka rešitev je v Republiki Sloveniji novost pri uvajanju javno-zasebnega partnerstva in je lahko zgled za spremembe v delovanju drugih državnih organov, hkrati pa v mednarodnem pogledu pomeni enega od možnih uspešnih modelov za izvajanje Opcijskega protokola. We believe that the Ombudsman ensured the efficient implementation of duties and powers of the NPM by implementing the Optional Protocol. By including non-governmental and humanitarian organisations in the implementation of duties and powers of the NPM, the transparency of the Ombudsman’s operations in this field increased, which ensures even better implementation of the duties assumed upon the ratification of the Optional Protocol. This solution is a novelty in the Republic of Slovenia in the implementation of public private partnership and may serve as an example for further changes in the work of other state authorities, and in international terms, it may present one of possible and successful models for implementing the Optional Protocol. Z odzivi pristojnih organov (zlasti obiskanih ustanov) na naše ugotovitve in priporočila za izboljšanje stanja smo večinoma zadovoljni, saj kažejo pripravljenost na sodelovanje, zlasti pa ugotavljamo, da poskušajo obiskane ustanove sprejeti vse ukrepe za potrebne izboljšave, ki so v njihovi domeni. Z zadovoljstvom lahko ugotavljamo, da ugotovitve in predlogi ter priporočila za izboljšanje stanja, ki jih Varuh daje v okviru nalog in pooblastil DPM, pogosto dobijo odmev v izboljšanju pogojev in ravnanja z osebami, ki jim je odvzeta prostost. Pri tem si želimo še boljšega in poglobljenega sodelovanja s pristojnimi ministrstvi, zlasti ko gre za problematiko, ki terja sistemske spremembe na tem področju. Sklepno ugotavljamo, da DPM s svojim delovanjem pomembno prispeva k izboljšanju položaja oseb, ki jim je odvzeta prostost. To je zaznal tudi Evropski odbor za preprečevanje mučenja in nečloveškega ali ponižujočega ravnanja ali kaznovanja (CPT) ob obisku v Sloveniji leta 2012 (glej poročilo o tem obisku, str. 10).11 Ocene o dobro opravljenem delu prihajajo tudi iz strokovnih krogov.12 Ne nazadnje ugotovitve DPM citira tudi Evropsko sodišče za človekove pravice13 v svojih sodbah, prav tako so predmet preučevanja v številnih diplomskih in magistrskih delih. 22 Implementation of Duties and Powers of the National Preventive Mechanism in 2014 We are mostly pleased with the response of relevant authorities (particularly visited institutions) to our findings and recommendations for the improvement of situations, since they show a readiness to cooperate. We particularly note that the institutions visited are trying to adopt all measures needed for improvements which are in their domain. We are pleased to establish that the findings, proposals and recommendations for improvements given by the Ombudsman within its duties and powers of the NPM frequently do result in an improvement in conditions and the treatment of persons deprived of liberty. We strive to enhance and deepen cooperation with relevant ministries, particularly regarding issues which demand systemic changes in the field. In the end, we highlight that the NPM’s operations significantly contribute to improving the situation of persons deprived of liberty. This was also noted by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) when visiting Slovenia in 2012 (see report on this visit, p. 10).11 Assessments of successful work have also come from the expert sphere,12 since the findings of the NPM have also been quoted by the European Court for Human Rights13 in its judgements and are also the subject of many diploma and Master’s theses. 11  Glej: http://www.cpt.coe.int/documents/svn/2013-16-inf-eng.pdf. 11  See: http://www.cpt.coe.int/documents/svn/2013-16-inf-eng.pdf. 12  Glej npr.
