Council of Europe (2004) European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) is required to draw up every year a General Report on its activities, which is published.
In a number of its General Reports the CPT has described some of the substantive issues which it pursues when carrying out visits to places of deprivation of liberty. The Committee hopes in this way to give a clear advance indication to national authorities of its views regarding the manner in which persons deprived of their liberty ought to be treated and, more generally, to stimulate discussion on such matters.
The "substantive" sections drawn up to date have been brought together in this document.
