Action Plan, two Working Groups have
been established: one related to public
awareness measures and a second one for
the preparation of the new Action Plan
envisaged for the next 2-3 years.
The revised Criminal Justice Reform
Strategy incorporates a specific chapter on
juvenile justice and on probation. The
Criminal Justice Reform Inter-Agency
Council (‗the Council‘) has created four
Working Groups (juvenile justice, penal
system reform, probation and legal aid)
which are to elaborate recommendations
and conduct field studies in order to adapt
the Strategy and the Action Plan of the
Criminal Justice Reform.
- The Council has entrusted its secretariat
to monitor the implementation of the
Strategy and the related Action Plans on a
permanent basis. The respective reports
prepared by the Secretariat will be
publicly available.
- A draft Code on Imprisonment was
elaborated, which (1) provides for a
complaint procedure for prisoners (draft
article 99); (2) provides that a complaint
related to the allegation of torture or
Information received in the reporting
period
the possibility to lodge an appeal against
an order of administrative detention is not
duly followed and implemented in
practice; and compensation for illegally
imposed detention has reportedly never
been awarded.
