- 11 D. Implementation of the CPT's recommendations 22. As is well known, the CPT monitors the action taken upon its recommendations through an ongoing dialogue with the States concerned. However, in recent times, as the CPT's activities have spread throughout the European continent, the Committee has begun to reflect on whether a more proactive approach might be adopted as regards the implementation of its recommendations. Indeed, the prevailing economic circumstances in at least certain States visited by the CPT render it difficult to meet all of the Committee's requirements, notwithstanding the goodwill of the authorities concerned. The CPT is anxious to avoid this state of affairs leading to a hiatus in the process of combatting ill-treatment. In appropriate cases, positive measures intended to assist States to implement the Committee's recommendations could contribute to resolving this problem. 23. In some areas, such as the training of law enforcement officials, prison officers and health-care staff in prisons and psychiatric hospitals, there may be scope to enhance the interface between the CPT's activities and existing Council of Europe programmes of assistance for developing and consolidating democratic security (ADACS). Further, the CPT is keen to explore the idea of developing channels through which certain of its recommendations with substantial financial implications - in particular those relating to a country's infrastructure - could be submitted for the consideration of international organisations which may have the requisite funds at their disposal. 24. Similarly, the CPT can on occasion encounter situations calling for a humanitarian response (such as the provision of emergency food aid or medication to persons deprived of their liberty) which the Committee is not itself able to furnish. In this respect it should be underlined that although the CPT, by virtue of its powers under the Convention, is in a position to identify needs which might otherwise not be readily apparent, the Committee has neither the mandate nor the organisational capacity and resources to distribute aid. Procedures need to be developed by virtue of which, when necessary and having due regard to the principles of cooperation and confidentiality, relevant organisations can be alerted to such situations without delay.
