Reporting • NHRIs should report on a regular basis to the OHCHR and other relevant national and international bodies on the extent to which the authorities, including police, military, prison and hospital personnel and educators, fail to comply with the prohibition on torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. • NHRIs should ensure that there is a systematic recording of complaints received specifically alleging torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. NHRIs should include reference to such complaints in their annual report to Parliament. Remedies • NHRIs should promote redress (including reparation, rehabilitation and compensation) for victims of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and their relatives. • All information gathered by NHRIs relating to allegations of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment should be provided to the relevant prosecuting authorities (except, where there are real concerns about the safety of any witness or, in the absence of mandatory reporting regimes, where the victim does not wish that to be done). • NHRIs should press for the prosecution of perpetrators of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The legal capacity for NHRIs to refer cases to the courts would support this role. • In some states, NHRIs have no jurisdiction over the armed forces or their detention facilities. In order to have full coverage of all relevant bodies, NHRIs should have jurisdiction over all the armed forces of their states, including when they are deployed offshore. 18
