Recommendation (i) stated: The police and jandarma should establish effective procedures for internal monitoring and disciplining of the behaviour of their agents, in particular with a view to eliminating practices of torture and ill-treatment. 641. According to information received from NGOs and other sources, internal discipline mechanisms exist within the police and jandarma. These mechanisms are not independent and therefore not effective in eliminating practices of torture and ill-treatment. 642. The Government informed that, in addition to the mechanisms described in document E/CN.4/2006/6/Add.2, groups of inspectors from the central Inspections Department and from the regional and provincial Jandarma Commands inspect all units to determine whether statutory amendments are complied with and whether custody procedures are carried out lawfully. In particular they check on the spot whether the rules governing custody records and access to a lawyer are complied with, whether detained persons’ rights are exercised and whether investigations are conducted in accordance with the law; they identify any shortcomings and take necessary steps to address them. 643. In addition the Ministry of Interior has issued two circulars (16 January 2003 and 27 August 2004) clearly prohibiting any ill-treatment and prescribing that investigations in any allegations of ill-treatment have to be initiated without delay and ordering Governors to make the elimination of possible disproportionate use of force by the security forces a priority.
