The report focuses on the measures taken by the relevant authorities following the recommendations made by the Committee after its previous visit (in 2010). In this connection, particular attention is paid to the treatment and conditions of detention of persons in police custody and the situation in penitentiary establishments (including the regime for juvenile offenders, remand prisoners and inmates held in a new high-security prison and the provision of health care). The report also deals with the legal safeguards offered to civil and forensic psychiatric patients.

In UNMIK’s response, the relevant authorities outline the measures taken to implement the recommendations made by the Committee.
