Enhancing human rights protection for detained and sentenced persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Action, in general, aims to address important prison and police issues, especially the ones recorded in the CPT reports. Furthermore, it will provide support to the BiH authorities in ensuring compliance with the Council of Europe standards as necessary and assist them in advancing further towards the process of stabilisation and European integration. Specifically, the Action directly aspires to strengthen the capacities of staff to deal with persons deprived of liberty without infringing their human rights, design and provide meaningful activities for persons deprived of liberty, ensure that access to primary health care in prisons is equal to that provided in the community and support the treatment of mentally incapacitated offenders based on human rights standards.
