v)
in case of allegations in the media that the national authorities of a State Party have disclosed

such allegations and insist that the rule of confidentiality also applies to States.

The CPT is confident that its new policy in the area of relations with the media will prove helpful. In
particular, the Committee trusts that the media will gradually become aware that they should respect the
restraints under which the CPT operates in its efforts to engage in a fruitful dialogue with sovereign States. On
the other hand, although the CPT cannot put the bulk of its work in the public domain, it will strive to make
public as much information about its activities as is compatible with the obligation of confidentiality.
