CAT/OP/HUN/2 thorough internal evaluation of the level of financial resources required to fulfil the mechanism’s mandate under the Optional Protocol. 52. In the light of the low level of human and financial resources available to the national preventive mechanism, the Subcommittee also recommends that the mechanism increase cooperation with national preventive mechanisms in other States, in order to strengthen its capacities, share information and practices and develop its working methods with a view to improving its ability to carry out its mandate under the Optional Protocol. 53. The Subcommittee further recommends that the national preventive mechanism continue to develop its capacity through increased cooperation with the Subcommittee, as well as through engagement with other national preventive mechanisms and appropriate national preventive mechanism networks. 54. The Subcommittee regards its visit and the present report as the beginning of a constructive dialogue with the national preventive mechanism of Hungary. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights stands ready to provide technical assistance and advice to the mechanism to strengthen its capacity to prevent torture and illtreatment in all places of deprivation of liberty in the State party and to make the common goal of prevention a reality. 55. The Subcommittee recalls that the State party has an obligation to prevent torture and that the likelihood of that obligation being met can only be greatly increased by the existence of an effective national preventive mechanism. The Subcommittee encourages the mechanism to review and strengthen its working methods and to avail itself of training courses to improve its ability to discharge its responsibilities under the Optional Protocol, including through the assistance of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights concerning follow-up to the present recommendations. 56. The Subcommittee also encourages the mechanism to transmit its annual reports to the Subcommittee and reaffirms its readiness to help to achieve the shared aims of preventing torture and ill-treatment and ensuring that commitments are translated into action. 57. The Subcommittee recommends that the national preventive mechanism make the present report public and requests that it be notified of the mechanism’s decision in this regard. 10
