Registers of persons deprived of liberty and fundamental safeguards

The Committee recommends that the State party guarantee robust monitoring of the application of the new instruction for the police regarding the use of registers of persons deprived of liberty and ensure that the information in the registers across the entire territory is promptly and accurately completed, that all persons deprived of liberty are registered without exception and from the outset, that the information is regularly updated, and that it is subject to periodic checks. In the event of irregularities, ensure that the officers responsible for updating the registers are held accountable in accordance with the provisions set forth in article 22 (b) of the Convention.

The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that all existing and future registers of deprivation of liberty all contain, at a minimum, the information required under article 17 (3) of the Convention, and are interconnected, and are interoperable with other relevant registries, including genetic registers and those maintained by other countries and with the single register of disappeared persons recommended in paragraph 16 of these concluding observations.
