CHAPTER 7. PROPOSALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The analysis of the activity of the Commissioner as NPM during the reporting period gives ground to evaluate it as efficient. This also can be evaluated as a logical result of the work realized directly by the NPM – preventive visits, legal enlightening events, as well as of fundamental legal reforms carried out in the country. Improving the legal culture of society stipulates increasing the level of provision of the right to not only not be subjected to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, but other rights as well. During the reporting period, and as a result of putting forward the numerous recommendations and proposals, the attitude of law-enforcement, punishment execution bodies and high ranked officials on the essence and provision of human rights has changed positively; legal thinking has formed a new meaning, and steps have been taken for improving the administration. The Commissioner emphasizes the importance of the involvement of the society in the reintegration process into the society of persons deprived of liberty (resocialization) in order to ensure its successful realization. The Commissioner believes in the necessity to strengthen the correction of imprisoned persons using labour, religious and educational means. It should be noted that the recommendations reflected in previous reports on the activity of the Commissioner as NPM but still pending for their implementation were repeatedly mentioned among the proposals. For efficient protection of persons fully or partially deprived of liberty the Commissioner puts forward for 2014 the following proposals: To settle institutional issues: 1. Promote application of alternative measures of restraints not related to arrest; 2. Ensure that information and images about detained or arrested persons are prevented from dissemination in mass media before issuance of the court decision; 3. Ensure that the MIA enhances the control over transferring persons detained in TDPs and arrested persons to Investigatory Isolator within 24 hours as provided by legislation; 4. Ensure that the MIA enhances the control over undergoing the preliminary medical examination of detained and arrested persons by a specialized doctor in the TDP within 24 hours; 81
