Publication highlights Introduction 53. Fifteen CPT visit reports were published during the period covered by this General Report, at the request of the States concerned. At the time of writing, 274 of the 319 reports so far drawn up have been placed in the public domain. 54. As the CPT has emphasised in previous general reports, authorising publication of visit reports can be seen as one of the most important means of ­cooperating with the Committee, in view of the increased impact this will give to its work. Moreover, the sooner authorisation is given, the greater that impact will be. In this connection, the CPT welcomes the fact that the Belgian, Dutch, Moldovan and Norwegian authorities have recently requested the publication of reports concerning their countries, without awaiting the drawing up of their responses. Similarly, the CPT appreciates the decision of the Ukrainian authorities to request publication, in March 2012, of the preliminary observations made by the delegation which carried out the ad hoc visit to Ukraine at the end of 2011. 55. A State-by-State table showing the current situation as regards publication of CPT visit reports is set out in Appendix 6. In the light of the recent highlevel talks (see paragraph 15), the CPT is confident that the Russian authorities will soon revise the approach they have followed to date and begin to request publication of the Committee’s reports. The CPT also hopes that the Azerbaijani authorities will agree to the publication of those visit reports which have not yet been placed in the public domain. The CPT is puzzled by the continuing absence of authorisation to publish the report transmitted to NATO more than five years ago on the Committee’s visit in 2007 to places of deprivation of liberty in Kosovo4 under the authority of KFOR. This is in marked contrast to the approach of UNMIK, which has requested the publication of the reports on both of the CPT’s visits to Kosovo4, in 2007 and 2010. Selected publications 56. In this section, a closer look is taken at some of the visit reports, government responses and other documents published during the last twelve months. 4.
