Report of the Commissioner for Human Rights on the activities of the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture in Poland in 2017 In September 2017 a representative of the NMPT participated, as a speaker, in an international conference devoted to the situation of children deprived of liberty in educational care and correctional institutions. The meeting was held under the Czech presidency in the Council of Ministers of the European Union. The Ministry of Labour and Social Policy of the Czech Republic was the organizer of the said conference. In October 2017 a representative of the NMPT took part in the meeting of national preventive mechanisms, organized by the Council of Europe and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) under the programme “NPM Forum”. It was organized in connection with the need to implement judgements of the Court of Justice of the European Union (case Aranyosi and Caldararu) as well as other framework decisions concerning detention by the countries of the European Arrest Warrant. The European Commission called on the FRA to initiate work associated with monitoring of conditions of deprivation of liberty. For this purpose the FRA suggested creating a database containing standards (both, international as well as those established by the NMPT) pertaining to the conditions of detainment. That database would be useful for judges who will be deciding about transporting a convict to the country of his/her origin. 79
