to monitor human rights situation in correctional institutions, detention
centers, labor gatherings, health and education centers, or any other
public place in which it is suspected that human rights violations are
committed.”
3. This text confirms the need to expand tasks in the field of protection of human
rights in a way that complies with international decisions in this regard. The
protection required goes beyond receiving complaints, extending to
systematic follow up of the case representing the situation of the human rights
and document it in different ways and means, because monitoring is
necessary to ensure the extent and degree of the Country’s respect to its
legal or international commitments related to human rights.
4. In order to execute these tasks stipulated by the law, the NIHR played a major
role in the protection of human rights by conducting announced and
unannounced field visits to monitor human rights conditions. To focus on
NIHR task to conduct visits, and to intensify the visits, a Detention & Facilities
Visitation Committee was formulated composed of a number of members
from the Council of Commissioners. A total of (23) visits were conducted as
