The CPT is required to draw up every year a General Report on its activities, which is
published.
In a number of its General Reports the CPT has described some of the substantive
issues which it pursues when carrying out visits to places of deprivation of liberty. The
Committee hopes in this way to give a clear advance indication to national authorities
of its views regarding the manner in which persons deprived of their liberty ought to
be treated and, more generally, to stimulate discussion on such matters.
The "substantive" sections drawn up to date have been brought together in this
document.
