• NHRIs should urge their states to implement all recommendations and conclusions made in reports prepared by the relevant monitoring committees and special Rapporteurs. In this respect, NHRIs have a supportive role to play. Alternative measures to combat torture • NHRIs should advocate that adequate resources be provided to authorities so that investigative techniques, not involving physical or psychological coercion, can be used, including adequate resources for scientific investigation, such as DNA testing. • NHRIs should work with their governments to improve the current infrastructure of detention facilities so as to ensure that the human dignity of detainees is respected and individual differences and characteristics catered for. • Relevant detention facilities include all places where people are deprived of their liberty, including police stations, prisons, administrative detention facilities, military detention centres, juvenile detention centres and social care institutions such as psychiatric hospitals and secure geriatric facilities. Monitoring • NHRIs should also take a proactive role in monitoring detention facilities. In order to facilitate this role, NHRIs (and any other monitoring agencies) should have free and unfettered access to all places of detention, the ability to interview persons in private and full access to all relevant documentation. The monitoring team should be multi- disciplinary and include lawyers and medical personnel. • NHRIs should encourage all members of the judiciary involved in making decisions related to detention to visit detention facilities on a regular basis. 16
