CAT/C/ALB/CO/2 interaction with the international human rights system and of the transparency of appointment processes to the governing bodies (arts. 2 and 12). The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Take steps to improve dialogue and follow-up by the Parliament with a view to implementing the findings and recommendations by the People’s Advocate following the missions to the detention centres by its Unit for Prevention of Torture, as required by the law; (b) Make public, using all appropriate means of communication, the steps taken by the State party to ensure effective implementation of the findings and recommendations adopted by the People’s Advocate and to increase public awareness thereof; (c) Compile and regularly disseminate the best practices by the People’s Advocate and undertake relevant training thereon to its personnel; (d) Strengthen the mandate of the People’s Advocate to include promotion of human rights in order to improve safeguards, living conditions and treatment of detainees, make it more accessible through the establishment of a permanent regional presence and improve its systematic interaction with the international human rights system and the transparency of appointment processes to the governing bodies. Fundamental legal safeguards 13. The Committee expresses its deep concern at reports that basic safeguards against ill-treatment during pretrial detention are still not applied systematically and effectively as detainees are not always fully informed of their fundamental rights from the outset of their deprivation of liberty, get deprived of timely access to a lawyer and a medical doctor and of the right to notify a family member or person of one’s choice of an arrest and current place of detention, and are not often brought before a judge within the constitutionally prescribed periods (arts. 2, 11 and 16). The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Take measures to ensure that all persons detained by the police are fully informed of their fundamental rights as from the very outset of their deprivation of liberty, requiring the provision of an oral information on these rights at the very outset of detention, and supplemented by the provision of an information sheet at the earliest possibility, receipt of which should be attested by a signature of the detained person; (b) Regularly train police officers on the legal obligation to grant access to a lawyer and a medical doctor from the very outset of a person’s deprivation of liberty and to provide for a notification of a detained person’s family member or person of one’s choice of an arrest and current place of detention; (c) Ensure that all persons detained by the police are brought before a judge within the constitutionally prescribed periods.
