Book Description
This analysis is devoted to the progress in implementation of the recommendations made by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (hereinafter – CPT, Committee). It concerns all the recommendations made by the Committee since its first visit to Ukraine in 1998. During this time, the Committee has published 15 reports pertaining to Ukraine. Of these, 12 reports that were fully or partially devoted to the Ukrainian penitentiary system were analysed. Three remaining reports were ignored since they were dealing exclusively with other areas (psychiatric institutions, border guard facilities, etc.). The intention was to analyse the implementation progress of only those recommendations, the implementation of which could be measured. Besides, only recommendations of systemic nature were taken for analysis. Therefore, the analysis does not consider the implementation of other recommendations with regard to: individual penitentiary institutions and their repair state; individual or collective cases of torture/degrading treatment in certain institutions; provision of material resources, food, medicines, etc .; staffing level of individual institutions. Thus, the focus was on recommendations with regard to which it was possible to state on their implementation, non-implementation or partial implementation. An important part of these recommendations require legislative changes and/or additional funding. In some cases, recommendations for individual institutions were taken into account when addressing systemic issues. The purpose of the analysis was to conduct a kind of "inventory" of the Committee's outstanding recommendations. The idea was to summarize a large number of standards scattered in the various reports. To facilitate finding the referenced reports containing relevant recommendations the year of the Committee's visit and the paragraph of the relevant report are indicated in parentheses.

Protecting the right to freedom of expression under the European Convention on Human Rights
Author: Bychawska-Siniarska, Dominika
Publisher: Council of Europe
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
European Convention on Human Rights – Article 10 – Freedom of expression 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises. 2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary. In the context of an effective democracy and respect for human rights mentioned in the Preamble to the European Convention on Human Rights, freedom of expression is not only important in its own right, but it also plays a central part in the protection of other rights under the Convention. Without a broad guarantee of the right to freedom of expression protected by independent and impartial courts, there is no free country, there is no democracy. This general proposition is undeniable. This handbook is a practical tool for legal professionals from Council of Europe member states who wish to strengthen their skills in applying the European Convention on Human Rights and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights in their daily work.

Health in Prisons
Author: A. Gatherer
Publisher: WHO Regional Office Europe
ISBN: 9289072806
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Based on the experience of many countries in the WHO European Region and the advice of experts, this guide outlines some of the steps prison systems should take to reduce the public health risks from compulsory detention in often unhealthy situations, to care for prisoners in need and to promote the health of prisoners and prison staff. This requires that everyone working in prisons understand how imprisonment affects health, what prisoners' health needs are, and how evidence-based health services can be provided for everyone needing treatment, care and prevention in prison. Other essential elements are being aware of and accepting internationally recommended standards for prison health; providing professional care with the same adherence to professional ethics as in other health services; and, while seeing individual needs as the central feature of the care provided, promoting a whole-prison approach to care and promoting the health and well-being of people in custody.
