Preventive Mechanisms established under the Optional Protocol to the International
Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment, CAT and other UN agendas report that violence was still used against the
detainees and prisoners and that it was not prosecuted. Strengthening the NPMs and
monitoring their effectiveness remain the priority for CAT. Once again the
ombudsmen, who implement the NPS in the Eastern Partnership countries, have an
important role to play.
f. Another area, where violation of human rights was identified in all the reviewed
countries, was that of children’s rights. These issues cover the whole range of rights
and freedoms, beginning with the use of torture and detention, through the position of
minors in court proceedings, problems associated with adoption and children’s
institutions, to economic, health and educational concerns.
g. Countries, where there are certain territories which de facto are not controlled by the
State, are unable to effectively enforce the rights and freedoms of persons in those
territories. Any urges to establish international cooperation between the stakeholders
in order to ensure the protection of human rights and freedoms in those areas are
ineffective due to their complicated geopolitical situation and the involvement of third
countries.
