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;
