CAT/OP/POL/CNPMRO/1 Comments on the recommendation(s) contained in paragraph 53 79. In connection with the content of Article 11b of the OPCAT, the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture has requested the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights for assistance in assessing the needs and resources required to strengthen the required torture prevention measures. 80. Given that in the last years there the Polish Commissioner for Human Rights has experienced statements attacking him in the public space, in connection with the performance of his function as NPM, the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture expresses the hope that any attempts to undermine the CHR’s authority will cause a firm and quick response of the United Nations Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture. 16
