CAT/OP/SEN/CNPMRO/1 ill-treatment and to publish its reports, including its annual reports, must not be restricted. 40. Reply: The Observatory takes due note of this recommendation and will endeavour to ensure its effective implementation. The Subcommittee regards its visit and the present report as part of an ongoing dialogue with the national preventive mechanism of Senegal. It stands ready to provide technical assistance and advice in order to reinforce the capacity of the mechanism to prevent torture and ill-treatment in all places of deprivation of liberty in Senegal and to translate the common goals of prevention from commitments into reality. The Subcommittee urges the Observatory to submit to the Subcommittee its annual report and any other thematic report it deems necessary. 41. Reply: The Observatory welcomes the Subcommittee’s willingness to support it in its mission to prevent torture and ill-treatment in Senegal. It will take all the necessary steps to submit its reports to the Subcommittee in order to strengthen the process of constructive dialogue that is already under way. The Subcommittee requests that a reply to the present report be provided within six months from the date of its transmission to the Observatory. The reply should respond directly to all the recommendations and requests for further information made in the report, giving a full account of action that has already been taken or is planned (including timescales) in order to implement the recommendations. 42. Reply: The Observatory considers that it has addressed all the concerns raised by the Subcommittee, except those whose implementation is not entirely within the purview of the Observatory itself, which will be addressed by the ongoing reform process. The Subcommittee recommends that the Observatory make the present report public and requests that it be notified of the mechanism’s decision in this regard. Making the report public will contribute to transparency and enable the Observatory to apply to the Special Fund established under the Optional Protocol for support in implementing the recommendations it contains. 43. Reply: The Subcommittee’s report and the Observatory’s replies will be made public. The Subcommittee recommends that, in accordance with article 12 (d) of the Optional Protocol, the National Observatory of Places of Deprivation of Liberty of Senegal enter into dialogue with it on the implementation of its recommendations, within six months of the Subcommittee’s having received the reply to the present report. The Subcommittee also recommends that the Observatory initiate discussions with it on the arrangements for such a dialogue at the time of submission of its reply to the present report. 44. Reply: The report that was due to be sent to the Observatory for discussion within six months was not submitted in time. It is because of this delay that the recommended procedure was not followed before the replies to the report were submitted. 10 GE.21-03421
