110 MONITORING OF CUSTODIAL SETTINGS IN UKRAINE: According to official information received from the State Migration Service of Ukraine the TAC has resolved issues that did not imply considerable financial and material costs (e.g., fixed mechanical ventilation in the rooms and in the medical isolation ward, attached handles to window frames, and placed notices with contacts of TAC governor and his reception schedule inside the dormitories). In order to ensure proper quality of communication with foreigners from African and South Asian countries the administration of the facility invites interpreters from an organization that is the local partner of the UNHCR Regional Office for Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. The leadership of the migration agency also began making an internal database (register) of interpreters. Information on inmates’ rights and obligations, TAC in-house rules, contacts of the senior officials of the facility, of the related authorities and of legal aid providers was also exhibited on notice boards of the dorm hallway, in several languages. Use of personal mobile phones still remains unregulated. P. 4.58 of the draft of the new MIA Order “On approval of Provisions on custody in temporary accommodation centers for foreigners and stateless persons illegally staying in Ukraine” allows use of personal mobile phones without photo and video cameras on permission of TAC governor or his deputy but anyway fails to set out the rules of phone use. At present TAC inmates are permitted to use their mobile phones once a week or at any time on own choice but under surveillance. In order to improve the legislation of Ukraine on protection of rights and freedoms of persons held in TACs in view of NPM recommendations the State Migration Service drafted a number of regulations and provided these drafts to NPM staff for familiarization, specifically: • draft Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine”, which envisages, inter alia, amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On the Legal Status of Foreigners and Stateless Persons”; • draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On nutritional standards for foreigners and stateless persons held at SMSU temporary accommodation centers for foreigners and stateless persons illegally staying in Ukraine and at accommodation facilities for refugees”; • draft Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine “On approval of Provisions on custody in temporary accommodation centers for foreigners and stateless persons illegally staying in Ukraine”. 2.5. Results of monitoring of custodial settings of the Ministry of Defense Under the definition of Article 13 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Ukrainian Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights” NPM monitoring covers the following institutions of the defense agency: • one disciplinary battalion of the Policing Service (PS) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU); • guardhouses and rooms for the temporarily detained personnel (RDTPs);
