indications of exploitation both in the
recruiting phase and during the time with
the host families but not to a degree where
it can be determined as human trafficking.
(e) Ensure that, where
arrangements exist for male
and female detainees to be
accommodated in the same
premises, the decision of a
woman to be placed together
with men is based on her
completely free and
informed decision, and
scrupulously monitor
appropriate safeguards to
prevent abuse;
Practice of accommodating
male and female detainees in
the same premises, based on the
principle of normalization;
while in most places such
arrangements were voluntary,
this was not the case in Nuuk
Prison in Greenland.
Government: Special attention will be
paid to the placement of female inmates in
connection with the establishment of the
new institution in Nuuk, which is planned
to open in 2013.
According to the Chief Governor of
Institutions in Greenland, no cases of
violence or sexual abuse of women have
been registered in the existing institution
in Nuuk even though close relationships
are sometimes formed between female and
male inmates. In addition, nothing
indicates that the women form
relationships with male inmates for
protection purposes.
With reference to the renewed request for
information from the Rapporteur, the Chief
Governor confirmed that the staff will
continue their awareness of the female
inmates and of the need to intervene if
there are any signs of imbalance in the
relationship or problems between male and
female inmates.
The Government considered to
employ diplomatic assurances
to return suspected terrorists to
countries known for their
practice of torture;
