Description
The project is being carried out by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights (BIM) (Austria), the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee and the Associazione Antigone (Italy). It aims at clarifying and consolidating existing standards on the rights of persons in detention through research and exchange among practitioners and experts and on the basis of international and regional human rights obligations, soft law and jurisprudence as well as national practices. Thereby the project aims to contribute to paving the way to harmonised detention standards across the EU through a process involving NPMs and experts and in full compliance with human rights law.
