MONITORING PLACES OF DETENTION : A PRACTICAL GUIDE 33 11. Be objective Visitors must strive to record actual facts, and to deal with both staff and prisoners in a manner that is not coloured by feelings or preconceived opinions. 12. Behave with integrity Visitors should treat all detainees, authorities and staff, and their fellow visitors with decency and respect. They should not be motivated by self-interest and should be scrupulously honest. In all their dealings they should operate in accordance with the international human rights standards that they are mandated to uphold. 13. Be visible Within the place of detention, visitors should make sure that staff and detainees are aware of the methodology and mandate of the visiting body, that they know how to approach them. Visitors should wear a badge or other means of identification. Outside the place of detention, the work of visiting mechanisms should be publicised through written reports and careful use of the media (see Chapter III, section 5: follow-up to the visits).
