Monitoring Places of Detention: A Practical Guide for NGOs
It is increasingly recognized by international experts that monitoring places of detention through regular and unannounced visits constitutes one of the most effective ways to prevent torture and ill-treatment of persons deprived of their liberty. Accordingly, the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT) and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) decided to promote monitoring programmes by national NGOs and to publish this guide.
