A/69/44 conducted by the police or under the authority of the police but by an independent body; (c) Ensure that persons under investigation acts of torture or ill-treatment are immediately suspended from their duties and remain so throughout the investigation. Individual complaints (15) The Committee is concerned at the lack of effective measures by the State party to ensure an effective complaints procedure for victims of torture or ill-treatment and to provide protection for victims and witnesses from ill-treatment or intimidation as a consequence of filing a complaint or providing evidence (arts. 13 and 16). The State party should establish and promote an effective mechanism for receiving complaints of torture and ill-treatment, including in custodial facilities. The State party should guarantee full protection for complainants and witnesses in cases of torture and ill-treatment. Training (16) While noting the detailed information provided by the State party on training programmes for law enforcement officials, prison staff and judges, the Committee regrets the paucity of information on (a) specific training regarding the provisions of the Convention and (b) monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the training programmes in reducing the incidence of torture and ill-treatment (arts. 10 and 16). The State party should continue to intensify its efforts to provide human rights training programmes for all officials involved in the custody, interrogation or treatment of any individual subjected to any form of arrest, detention or imprisonment, with a focus on the State party’s obligations under the Convention. In particular, the State party should: (a) Ensure that all relevant personnel, including medical personnel, receive specific training on how to identify signs of torture and ill-treatment. To this end, the Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol) should be included in the training material; (b) Assess and evaluate, as far as practicable, the effectiveness of educational and training programmes relating to the Convention and the Istanbul Protocol. Conditions of detention (17) While noting the State party’s commitment to improving conditions of detention, through a European Union project, the Committee remains concerned at the conditions in detention facilities, especially the remand prison in Podgorica, such as the overcrowding, the inadequate access to health care and the lack of meaningful activities and rehabilitation programmes. The Committee regrets the lack of information on inter-prisoner violence and sexual violence in prisons (arts. 11 and 16). The State party should strengthen its efforts to improve prison conditions in conformity with the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Economic and Social Council resolutions 663 C (XXIV) and 2076 (LXII)), by reducing the high rate of overcrowding, in particular through the wider use of alternatives to imprisonment, in the light of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Non-custodial Measures (Tokyo Rules), by providing access to full health care services for prisoners. The State party should implement effectively alternative sanctions and rehabilitation programmes. The Committee also recommends that the GE.14-12596 133
