2.7.2.4
Legal controls on aliens relevant to the basic level of social services
For years, the employees of the Aliens Police Authority and the Federal
Ministry of the Interior have implemented legal controls on aliens,
which also comprise aspects of the basic level of social services. In
accordance with a recommendation of the former Human Rights
Advisory Board of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, information
sheets were translated into 13 foreign languages to be handed out to
controlled persons in the appropriate languages. This measure is
intended to counter uncertainty regarding the purpose of the control.
Information sheets
In one case, the commission criticised the fact that the monitoring
bodies did not provide the affected persons with the information
sheets. The Federal Ministry of the Interior regretted this incident and
assured that the information sheets would generally be given out.
After accompanying a legal control on aliens relevant to the basic level
of social services, one commission criticised the fact that the police did
not provide the commissions with lists of the names and addresses of
the persons to be monitored and controlled – in contrast to the
practice in the days of the former Human Rights Advisory Board of the
Federal Ministry of the Interior. Providing such lists would greatly
facilitate the activities of the commissions.
Representatives of the NPM and the Federal Ministry of the Interior
discussed this matter at a round table in October 2013. In the summer
of 2014, the Federal Ministry of the Interior announced that the
authorities had been instructed by decree to provide the commissions
with these lists prior to control actions in the future.
Commissions receive
lists of names
One commission criticised the fact that a controlled person had to
spend some minutes in the stairwell corridor in his underwear in the
course of a legal control on aliens relevant to the basic level of social
services. The Federal Ministry of the Interior promised the NPM that it
would sensitise the employee involved.
In connection with another incident, the Federal Ministry of the Interior
stated that employees also address controls relevant to the basic level
of social services as part of further training. The briefings and
debriefings before and after each deployment are used to point out
past experiences and reflect on new experiences.
