The training team formed of law enforcement and prison professionals had an online coordination meeting with the project team on 15 April 2020 to continue drafting manual for interagency cooperation in the treatment of persons deprived of liberty in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The draft currently features draft chapters on information exchange and joint procedures with respect to prison escapes and absconding, exercise of prison leave, escorting and apprehending persons deprived of liberty without identification documents, etc.

The purpose of this manual is to complement the existing good practice and institutional training programs with recommendations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT).

This activity is organised within the framework of the Horizontal Facility for Western Balkans and Turkey II - "’Strengthening human rights treatment of detained persons based on European standards and best practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina ", co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe. All project activities are currently taking place in electronic form.
