The multi-level activities carried out by the NPM between 2018
and 2019 included visits to detention centres, prisons and
homes for the elderly and the disabled as well as activities to
inform, educate and raise awareness among non-governmental
bodies and state stakeholders.
Since its establishment in 2009, the NPM has done excellent
work in strengthening the respect for human dignity of people
in detention. In the light of the accumulated experience, the
NPM is ready to address the challenges in matters concerning
prevention and the protection of human dignity in a decisive
and constructive manner.
