Support to the Ombudsperson Institution in Kosovo

Support to the Ombudsperson Institution in Kosovo

In 2016, together with the Council of Europe, the Human Rights Section provided technical assistance to the Ombudsperson Institution in Kosovo (OiK) on the National Preventive Mechanism of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (NPMT). Established on 15 January 2016, the NPMT operates as a new structure within the OiK to inspect and monitor places of detention.
