10.6. Follow-up inquiry
earlier visit and circumstances jeopardizing the enforcement of fundamental rights. The follow-up inquiry provides a chance to discuss the
experiences of the earlier visit and, in the light thereof, the practical implementation of my recommendations with the personnel of the place of
detention concerned.
Since neither the OPCAT nor the Ombudsman Act contains provisions
as regards follow-up inquiries, the general rules have to be applied in
their respect.
When selecting the target of a follow-up inquiry, I took into account
that, through my activities, especially by conducting proceedings ex
officio, I have to pay special attention to the rights of the child.195 On
the other hand, I also considered which of the recommendations set
forward in my reports published in 2015 could have been implemented
in the meantime.
In performing the tasks of the NPM in 2016, I conducted a follow-up
inquiry in the Juvenile Penitentiary Institution in Tököl.
