false, and no such person or organization shall be otherwise prejudiced in any way. 2. Confidential information collected by the NPM shall be privileged. No personal data shall be published without the express consent of the person concerned. As regards the compliance of the Commissioner’s mandate with the requirements of the given article, it may be noted that complaints addressed by persons held in penitentiary institutions, investigatory isolators or temporary detention places shall be delivered to the Commissioner within 24 hours without being subjected to any kind of censorship (Constitutional Law, Article 8.5). In accordance with Article 15 of the Constitutional Law, the protection of information constituting a state secret which has become known to the Commissioner while performing his/her activities shall be carried out in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On State Secrets”. No data concerning personal and family life of applicants which have become known to the Commissioner while investigating the circumstances indicated in complaints are allowed to be made public without consent of those persons (Constitutional Law, Article 9.5). From the text of the referred articles of the Constitutional Law, as well as other legal acts it is seen that no provision has been directly provided for the prohibition of prosecutions for having communicated to the Commissioner any information. Thus, it is necessary to amend the Constitutional Law accordingly and take into account the requirements of Article 21.1 of the OPCAT when toughening the responsibility provided by law for interfering with the lawful activity of the Commissioner. Relevant proposal has been submitted. Article 22 of the OPCAT specifies: The competent authorities of the State Party concerned shall examine the recommendations of the NPM and enter into a dialogue with it on possible implementation measures. 26
