MONITORING METHODOLOGY
H. POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP STRATEGIES
Depending on the extent of their mandate, the efficiency of their monitoring
methodology and the scope of the objectives pursued, the monitoring bodies
could develop additional and/or complementary actions to follow up their mission,
including:
ʺʺ Review of legislation and/or administrative rules and regulations
The NPM established under the OPCAT have powers “to submit proposals and observations
concerning existing or draft legislation”;
ʺʺ Further investigations, individual interventions or referrals
In case of emergency, allegation or complaint of abuse or violation of children’s rights;
See – Section 4.1. / G. – p.56 & Annex 3. – p.160
ʺʺ Advocacy;
ʺʺ Press release or article;
ʺʺ Individual communications or complaint procedure to human rights treaty bodies
such the CRC and CAT; participation to the UPR process of the UN Human Rights
Council; exchange of information with other regional or international related Human
rights or monitoring bodies;
ʺʺ Recommendations for capacity building and training of staff members of places where
children are deprived of their liberty.
