SECTION 2. After the Ombudsman’s relation to the Head of the High Judicial Qualification Commission the Commission corroborated the fact of violation of the effective legislation; the judge was disciplined and the relevant decision of the commission was communicated to all local courts of general justice. Implementation of the Ombudsman’s recommendations given to the State Border Service of Ukraine in 2013 In order to eliminate revealed facts and prerequisites of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment NPM gave relevant recommendations to the leadership of the State Border Service of Ukraine. Analysis of official information from this agency on status of implementation shows that almost half of the recommendations were put into practice, and activities with regard to implementation of the other recommendations are either being carried out or scheduled. The matters of interaction between the Office of the Ombudsman and the State Border Service of Ukraine and of the status of implementation of the recommendations made in 2013 were twice considered at joint meetings. The Administration of the State Border Service of Ukraine communicated the reports of the Ombudsman’s Secretariat on the results of each monitoring visit to all border control authorities, which was followed by similar circulation of ordinances on activities required for elimination of shortcomings. The outcomes of the initial visits and relevant recommendations of NPM monitoring groups on the respect of human rights and freedoms of detainees 107 became the subject matter of a separate meeting of the SBSU Board in April 2013. According to the Board’s decision and in order to implement the recommendations, to ensure proper treatment of detainees and to bring the conditions of custody into conformity with the legislation of Ukraine and international standards the border control agency carried out a comprehensive inspection of all places of temporary detention and of the units involved in their guarding. On the basis of the results of this effort the leadership of SBSU organized improvement works (repair, reconstruction) at the premises that failed to meet the modern requirements (e.g. installation of forced ventilation and rain canopies, purchase of personal hygiene sets for detainees, etc.). In order to strengthen the protection of detainees’ rights and freedoms in custodial settings SBSU developed and began using an algorithm of anonymous surveys and installed readily accessible complaints boxes in all TDFs and SPs. Financial and in-kind assistance in the framework of READMIT international project enabled construction, within one year, of 5 new SPs at crossing points on the border with Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and the Russian Federation. In the regulatory sphere: • SBSU drafted its Regulation on procedure of custody for persons detained by the State Border Service of Ukraine, which is presently under coordination with other authorities, including the Secretariat of the Ombudsman of Ukraine; • Representatives of the State Border Service of Ukraine take part in te operation of the interagency working
