Note The Explanatory Memorandum contained in document CM(2021)22-add3final was adopted by the Steering Committee for Human Rights (CDDH) by electronic procedure on 28 January 2021 after its 93 rd meeting (14-16 December 2020) in view of the publication of the Recommendation CM/Rec(2021)2 of the Committee of Ministers to member States on measures against the trade in goods used for the death penalty, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. 1 When adopting the recommendation at their 1400th meeting, 31 March 2021, the Ministers’ Deputies took note of the Explanatory Memorandum. 1 Based on the approved scheme by the CDDH Bureau and of the information provided by member States, a consultant expert, Dr Michael CROWLEY (Bradford University / Omega Research Foundation), together with the Secretariat, prepared a Feasibility Study which was discussed by the CDDH at its 91st meeting (18-21 June 2019) and adopted at its 92nd meeting (26-29 November 2019). The study highlighted the current situation concerning this type of trade and the existing national and international legal responses, and suggested measures to strengthen international regulations by a recommendation of the Council of Europe. On 12 February 2020, the Committee of Ministers gave the green light for the preparation of such a recommendation. Subsequently, the CDDH appointed two national rapporteurs, namely Ms Nicola WENZEL (Germany) and Mr Chanaka WICKREMASINGHE (United Kingdom) to prepare the draft recommendation and its Explanatory Memorandum in co-operation with the Consultant and the Secretariat.
