Council of Europe In September, the CPT made its sixth visit to Austria and met with the NPM for the first time. Members of the AOB and two heads of commissions informed the monitoring entity deployed by the Council of Europe about current problems identified at places of detention in Austria and shared information about national and international human rights standards. At the centre of discussion were the ban of net beds, the way that abuse allegations against the police are dealt with, incarceration of juvenile offenders and the shortage of personnel in correctional institutions were at the centre of discussions. During the ten-day stay, the CPT carried out announced and unannounced visits in the Vordernberg detention centre, the Stein and Vienna-Josefstadt correctional institutions, the Otto Wagner Hospital, as well as various police stations and other places where persons can be deprived of their liberty. CPT meets with the NPM Events A lively sharing of ideas and experiences with international organisations at lectures and panel discussions marked the period under review, such as a presentation of “Young People and their Rights” at the 27th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on 10 September 2014, and on 9 September 2014, during meetings at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Vienna about children’s rights and Austria’s NPM experience, as well as during working visits by CPT representatives. Furthermore, discussions with representatives of diplomatic missions of European and overseas states and partner ombudsman institutions expand the range of the NPM’s work and open up new possibilities for collaboration, partnerships and future activities. Dialogue partners and guests have particularly emphasised the exemplary organisation of the Austrian NPM and have paid tribute to its form and resources. An example of viable cooperation and human rights education is the workshop with representatives of civil society on the topic of “Police.Power.Human Rights”, which builds on an existing good tradition and opens up new paths for cooperation, especially those that go beyond ongoing working groups and meetings within the NPM. Collaboration with the Viennese adult education centres has a very good basis that has provided the opportunity to transparently present the monitoring and preventive activities of the NPM, particularly in connection with the initiative “Vienna becomes a human rights city”, as well as in numerous panel discussions. 24 Viable cooperation and human rights education
