Follow-up to the recommendations made by the Special Rapporteur in the report of his
visit to Mongolia in June 2005 (E/CN.4/2006/6/Add.4, paras. 55-56).
392.
The Special Rapporteur notes that since the visit was carried out no information
has been provided by the Government of Mongolia concerning efforts to implement the
recommendations contained in the report. He recalls previous resolutions, which
emphasise the importance of States to enter into a constructive dialogue with the Special
Rapporteur with respect to the follow-up to his recommendations, and to ensure proper
follow-up. The Special Rapporteur reaffirms that he stands ready to assist the
Government in its efforts to prevent and combat torture and ill-treatment.
393.
Recommendation (a) stated: The highest authorities, particularly those
responsible for law enforcement activities, declare unambiguously that the culture
of impunity must end and that torture and ill-treatment by public officials will not
be tolerated and will be subject to prosecution;
394.
Recommendation (b) stated: The crime of torture be defined in accordance
with article 1 of the Convention, with penalties commensurate with the gravity of
torture;
395.
Recommendation (c) stated: Those legally arrested should not be held in
facilities under the control of their interrogators or investigators for more than the
time required by law to obtain a judicial warrant of pre-trial detention, which
should not exceed 48 hours. After this period, they should be transferred to a pretrial facility under a different authority, where no further unsupervised contact with
the interrogators or investigators should be permitted;
396.
Recommendation (d) stated: Custody registers be scrupulously maintained,
recording of the time and place of arrest, the identity of the police officers, the
actual place of detention, the state of health of the person upon arrival at the
detention centre, the time family or a lawyer was contacted and visited the detainee,
and information about the compulsory medical examinations undertaken upon
being brought to a detention centre and upon transfer;
397.
Recommendation (e) stated: Confessions made by persons in custody without
the presence of a lawyer and which are not confirmed before a judge should not be
admissible as evidence against the persons who made the confession. Serious
consideration should be given to video and audio taping of all persons present
during proceedings in interrogation rooms;
