A/HRC/4/33/Add.2 Page 91 503. Recommendation (d) stated: Prosecutors should regularly carry out inspections, including unannounced visits, of all places of detention. In this regard, a protocol should be established to provide guidelines on the measures to be taken during such visits. Written reports should be submitted for each visit. Similarly, the General Police Inspectorate should establish effective procedures for internal monitoring of the behaviour and disciplining of their agents, in particular with a view to eliminating practices of torture and ill-treatment. In addition, non-governmental organizations and other parts of civil society should be allowed to visit prisons. 504. The Government informed that staff members of the Romanian police have been informed about the rules of conduct to be observed in their work. At all territorial structures and subordinated educational units, the “Guide on Best Practices in police work” issued by the Committee for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law of the General Inspectorate of Police (GIRP) regarding forbidden practices such as torture and ill treatment has been distributed. Furthermore, various programs have been developed at the Institute for Crime Prevention and Research, aimed at training police officers in human rights and conflict resolution in multicultural communities, conflict management and preventing discrimination. 505.
