A/69/44 The Committee urges the State party to take the necessary steps to ensure that prison conditions are at least in keeping with the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and, in particular, to: (a) Relieve overcrowding in the prison system by using non-custodial measures in accordance with the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Noncustodial Measures (the Tokyo Rules) and the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders (the Bangkok Rules); and (b) Take measures, including increasing prison capacity, to comply with the European standard of a minimum of four square meters of living space for each detainee. (20) The Committee is concerned at the prevalence of violence among prison inmates, which has not decreased in the last three years, and at the lack of protection afforded to certain types of prisoners. The Committee is also concerned that N status inmates (dangerous inmates) are often kept in worse conditions than others for long periods of time and that their status is not regularly reviewed (arts. 2, 11 and 16). The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of prison inmates by enforcing the classification of inmates under article 82 (1) of the Criminal Enforcement Code. It also recommends that the conditions of detention of N status inmates (dangerous inmates) are improved and their status reviewed regularly in order to facilitate their rehabilitation. Redress and compensation (21) The Committee is concerned at the information provided by the State party indicating that, between 2005 and 2010, there were no final rulings by the State Treasury to remedy damages arising from the offence of abuse. It is also concerned that no data has been provided about any compensation granted in 2011 and 2012 (art. 14). The Committee urges the State party to take immediate legal and other measures to ensure that victims of torture and ill-treatment obtain redress and have an enforceable right to fair and adequate compensation, including the means for as full a rehabilitation as possible. The Committee requests the State party to provide information on the redress and compensation provided to victims of torture and illtreatment, especially since 2011. Domestic violence (22) The Committee welcomes the establishment in 2011 of the National Emergency Service for Victims of Domestic Violence “Blue Line”, but regrets that it is not operational 24 hours a day. While noting the 2005 law on the prevention of domestic violence and article 207 of the Penal Code concerning the offence of abuse of close family members, the Committee is concerned that domestic violence is not a separate crime in the Penal Code (arts. 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16). The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Define and introduce domestic violence and marital rape as specific criminal offences in its Penal Code, with appropriate sanctions; (b) Ensure the effective implementation of the National Programme for the Prevention of Domestic Violence 2006–2016 and regularly assess its results; (c) Establish an effective and independent complaints mechanism for victims of domestic violence; GE.14-12596 69
