E/CN.4/2006/6/Add.3 page 17 are deprived of their liberty throughout the country. In the view of the Special Rapporteur, such a mechanism could be situated in an independent national human rights institution established in accordance with the Paris Principles, the basis of which might be the Public Defender’s Office. This national institution should also be vested with investigatory powers in relation to allegations of torture and ill-treatment, and provided with the necessary financial and human resources, and appropriate capacity-building, to carry out its functions effectively; (p) All investigative law enforcement bodies establish effective procedures for internal monitoring and disciplining of the behaviour of their agents, with a view to eliminating practices of torture and ill-treatment; and (q) Law enforcement recruits undergo an extensive and thorough training curriculum that incorporates human rights education throughout and that includes training in effective interrogation techniques and the proper use of police equipment, and that existing officers receive continuing education. Territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia 61. Many of the above recommendations apply, mutatis mutandis, to the de facto authorities in the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, especially those in relation to conditions of detention. With particular reference to Abkhazia, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the death penalty be abolished. International cooperation 62. The Special Rapporteur recommends that relevant international organizations be requested to provide, in a coordinated manner, assistance in the follow-up to the above recommendations, including considering incorporating the recommendations in a future plan of action against torture in Georgia. To this end, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights should continue its efforts to establish a permanent human rights presence within the United Nations Country Team in Georgia, and it should ensure that adequate attention is paid to South Ossetia.
