Foreign prisoners Standards related to foreign prisoners exist in several important “soft law” documents of the Council of Europe, including the European Prison Rules (Rules 37.1-37.5) and Recommendation CM/Rec(2008)11 of the Committee of Ministers to member states on the European Rules for juvenile offenders subject to sanctions or measures (§§ 104.1-105.4). The document with the most comprehensive compilation of standards in this regard is Recommendation CM/Rec(2012)12 of the Committee of Ministers to member States concerning foreign prisoners of October 2012. In addition, several binding international treaties provide for standards of treatment of some groups of foreigners, which have to be applied also in detention. The international standards recognize the specific vulnerability of foreign prisoners due to their social isolation, differences in language, culture, customs and religion, lack of family ties and contacts with the outside world.60 In addition, some of them may be victims of torture in their countries of origin. As such, victims of torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment, no matter whether they are foreigners or nationals, should be recognized as persons in a situation of particular vulnerability and should be offered all needed legal, medical and social assistance as required by international standards in this area. Most documents dealing with the treatment of foreign prisoners focus on Prisoners in a Situation of Vulnerability
