1.11 Priloga: Metodologija izvajanja nalog državnega preventivnega mehanizma v Republiki Sloveniji Vodja obiska mora poskrbeti, da pridobi odgovore praviloma na vsa vprašanja, ki so opredeljena v opomniku področja (kategorije oseb, zmogljivosti in njihova zasedenost, bivalne razmere, obravnava oseb, zdravstveno varstvo, kadrovska zasedba, stiki z zunanjim svetom in pritožbene možnosti), vsak udeleženec obiska DPM pa mora poskrbeti, da bo prejel potrebne informacije v skladu s svojim opomnikom. Opomnik sicer ne sme odvračati pozornosti od pomembnih informacij in okoliščin, ki jih predstavniki DPM prejmejo in zaznajo neposredno ob obisku. The leader of the visit must acquire replies to all questions defined in the reminder (categories of persons, capacity and their occupancy, living conditions, treatment of persons, health care, staff, contacts with the outside world and possibilities for complaint). All participants in the NPM visit must ensure that they receive the necessary information as per their reminder. The reminder must not distract attention from important information and circumstances which the NPM representatives receive and discover during the visit. Izvedba obiska Obisk DPM mora biti izveden tako, da se spoštujejo interni akti kraja odvzema prostosti (npr. hišni in dnevni red), če to ne preprečuje izvedbe nalog in pooblastil DPM. Med obiskom kraja odvzema prostosti vsak udeleženec obiska čim bolj skrbno zapiše vsako pomembno okoliščino, ki jo zazna, in vsako prejeto informacijo, kot da bi bil edini udeleženec obiska. Tako se poveča možnost za naknadno primerljivost oziroma preverljivost tistega, kar so si o obisku zapisali udeleženci obiska. Implementation of a visit NPM visits must be conducted in such way as to respect the internal rules of the place of deprivation of liberty (e.g. house and daily rules) if this does not prevent the implementation of NPM duties and powers. During the visit, all participants carefully note all important circumstances discovered and information received as if they were the only participant in the visit. This increases the possibility of further comparing or verifying the content noted by participants. Udeleženci nenajavljenega obiska DPM pridejo na kraj odvzema prostosti ob istem času. Participants in a unannounced NPM visit arrive at the place of deprivation of liberty simultaneously. Ob vstopu na kraj odvzema prostosti vodja obiska predstavi udeležence obiska in namen izvedbe obiska, nato se pogovorijo s predstojnikom. Upon entering the place of deprivation of liberty, the leader of the visit introduces the participants and the purpose of the visit; they then speak to the head of the place of deprivation of liberty. Redni obisk praviloma tvorijo naslednje zaporedne faze: uvodni pogovor s predstojnikom kraja odvzema prostosti, ogled bivalnih prostorov oseb in drugih prostorov ter opreme v objektih kraja odvzema prostosti, pogovori z osebami in osebjem, pregled dokumentacije in sklepni pogovor s predstojnikom. Regular visits usually include the following consecutive phases: introductory discussion with the head of the place of deprivation of liberty, review of detainees’ living conditions, other premises and equipment at the facilities of the place of deprivation of liberty, interviews with detainees and staff, examination of documentation, and concluding discussion with the head of the place of deprivation of liberty. Vodja obiska lahko za katero od navedenih faz tudi odloči, da se izpusti, če ne bi bila smiselna ali mogoča, oziroma da se opravi v drugačnem vrstnem redu ali sočasno po posameznih skupinah udeležencev obiska, sestavljenih tako, kot je glede na število udeležencev obiska in njihovo usposobljenost najbolj smiselno. Kadar je za izvedbo naloge primerno, vodja obiska upošteva tudi spol udeležencev obiska (npr. pogovori udeleženk obiska s prosilkami za mednarodno zaščito v odsotnosti njihovega moža ipd.). Namen uvodnega pogovora je pridobitev ažurnih uradnih informacij o vseh poglavitnih okoliščinah kraja odvzema prostosti. Uvodni pogovor praviloma vodi vodja obiska. Najprej predstojniku pojasni, da gre za obisk DPM in predstavi posamezne udeležence obiska. Nato predstavi predviden potek obiska, kolikor to ni v nasprotju z namenom obiska. Za tem poskuša na podlagi opomnika od predstojnika in drugih odgovornih oseb prejeti vse potrebne informacije. Kadar so ob uvodnem pogovoru navzoči tudi drugi udeleženci obiska, ti pri tem aktivno sodelujejo. Če vodja obiska načrtuje zbiranje informacij med obiskom tudi s fotoaparatom, diktafonom ali katerim drugim tehničnim sredstvom, s tem predstojnika kraja odvzema prostosti seznani že v uvodnem pogovoru. Pri tem predstojniku tudi pojasni, da se bodo fotografirali le prostori in oprema, ne pa tudi osebe, razen če bi to same izrecno želele in bi udeleženec obiska to tudi presodil za smiselno. Pri odpiranju vrat bivalnega prostora osebe udeleženec obiska najprej na kratko pojasni, da gre za obisk DPM. Nato obzirno vpraša, ali sme (skupina) vstopiti. Tako se poskuša zmanjšati občutek vdora v osebnostno področje oseb. Ko z dovoljenjem osebe vstopi v (njen) bivalni prostor, se vrata tudi zaprejo ali vsaj priprejo, da se vzpostavi zadovoljiva mera zasebnosti in zaupnosti pogovora. Ob tem predstavnik DPM (po)skrbi za svojo varnost. V bivalnem prostoru se osebam na kratko pojasni namen obiska DPM in se jih povabi k pripovedovanju o tistem, kar jih v kraju odvzema prostosti moti. Ob tem se poskuša čim bolj objektivno ugotoviti primernost bivalnega prostora, predvsem glede na število oseb, ki morajo v njem skupaj bivati, v povezavi z njegovo površino in urejenostjo, osvetlitvijo in prezračenostjo, higienskimi razmerami, pohištvom, ležišči in drugo opremo v njem (tudi z vidika vzdrževanosti). Upoštevajo se tudi možnosti, ki jih imajo osebe za dajanje osebne note bivalnemu prostoru, v katerem so nastanjene. 174 1.11 Annex: Methodology of the implementation of the tasks of the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) in Slovenia poročilo o izvajanju nalog DPM v letu 2014 DržavnI preventivnI mehanizEm po Opcijskem protokolu h Konvenciji OZN proti mučenju in drugim krutim, nečloveškim ali poniževalnim kaznim ali ravnanju The leader of the visit may decide to omit any of the phases if this is suitable or possible, or to conduct the visit in a different order or simultaneously with individual groups of participants composed in a way most suitable as per the number of participants and their qualifications. When appropriate, the leader of the visit also considers the gender of the participants (e.g. interviews held by female participants with female applicants for international protection in the absence of their husbands and similar). The purpose of the introductory discussion is to acquire the latest information on all the key circumstances of the place of deprivation of liberty. The introductory discussion is usually conducted by the leader of the visit. First, the head of the place of deprivation of liberty receives an explanation of the NPM visit and individual participants are introduced. The leader of the visit then presents the anticipated course of the visit if this is not contrary to its purpose. On the basis of the reminder, the leader of the visit attempts to obtain all the necessary information from the head of the place of deprivation of liberty and other responsible persons. If other participants at the visit are also present at the introductory discussion, they actively participate in the discussion. If the leader of the visit intends to collect information during the visit with a camera, dictating machine or any other technical means, the head of the place of deprivation of liberty must be informed thereof during the introductory discussion. The leader of the visit also explains that only premises and equipment will be photographed, not persons, unless they explicitly want to be, and if the participant assesses this as suitable. When opening doors to living quarters, the participant first briefly explains the NPM visit to the person living there, then asks considerately if (the group) may enter. In this way, the sense of intrusion into the person’s private space is reduced. After entering living quarters with the permission of the person, the doors are closed, or at least left ajar to establish a sufficient level of privacy and confidentiality of conversation. The NPM representatives are responsible for their own safety. The persons receive a brief explanation of the purpose of the NPM visit and invited to provide their opinion on things that bother them at the place of deprivation of liberty. The suitability of living quarters are established as objectively as possible, particularly relating to the number of people sharing the quarters in terms of their size and arrangement, lighting and ventilation, sanitary conditions, furniture, beds and other equipment (also from the aspect of their maintenance). The option to give the living quarters a personal touch by the persons accommodated there is also observed.
