CAT/C/48/3 and ill-treatment should also have access to such a national register of allegations and incidents of torture and ill-treatment. 82. The relationship of public defence lawyers to the NPM should be one of complementarity and coordination. Both actors, institutionally relevant in the prevention of torture and ill-treatment, should follow up on the various recommendations, share work programmes and plan their work on common issues, in particular to avoid reprisals after monitoring visits. VI. Looking forward A. The new approach to achieving the Subcommittee’s mandate 83. As outlined above in chapter IV, section A, following the enlargement of the Subcommittee, members are developing new working methods which will enhance the capacity of the Subcommittee to fulfil its mandate. These include streamlined systems for advising and assisting States in the establishment of, and for engaging with, NPMs; establishing more formal procedures for engaging with dialogue with States arising from visits; developing the Subcommittee’s jurisprudence and liaising with other national, regional and international bodies. The Subcommittee recognizes that the working methods recently put in place may need to be further improved in the light of experience, in order to further enhance their effectiveness. 84. While the Subcommittee acknowledges that its enlargement has necessitated change, it has tried to ensure that such change builds on its previous achievements in a positive fashion. It has sought to use this necessity to become more outwardly engaged, dynamic and responsive to preventive need, capitalizing on its increased pool of expertise and experience. At the same time, it also recognizes that diverse opinions and approaches can pose challenges and that a coordinated approach, informed by the institutional practices of the United Nations and OHCHR, is required to fulfil the distinct mandate of the Subcommittee. The Subcommittee is conscious that its work must be of practical use in addressing the needs of diverse systems and do so in a way which properly engages with their specificities. 85. The Subcommittee believes that developing its preventive mandate in the context of the United Nations and OHCHR allows it to benefit from a broad range of expertise and it will continue to seek to exploit this advantage to its full potential. The Subcommittee is acutely conscious of the resource constraints which affect the work of OHCHR and its capacity to make provision for the Subcommittee which is as adequate as it would wish. The Subcommittee will continue to work as closely as it can with OHCHR in the coming year in order to explore how to maximize the value which can be derived from the resources at its disposal, believing that this can best be achieved by enhancing its capacity to exercise operational flexibility within its resource envelope. B. Plan of work for 2012 86. With the new approach to working with NPMs and follow-up activities, the Subcommittee hopes to make a greater impact in satisfying its mandate efficiently. The new strategy will assist in establishing a systematic range of activities regarding NPMs and opportunities for engagement with them in order to ensure that there is continued and constructive preventive dialogue. This process will also be used to ensure that new States parties are contacted as soon as possible. The Subcommittee is increasingly convinced that 19
