| Title | Monitoring and torture prevention in police custody: The case of Macedonia and Serbia |
| Summary | Recognizing the absolute prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, this thesis focuses on different monitoring and preventive mechanisms on international and national level. Initially analyzing the set-up of international instruments and mechanisms for torture prevention, it will then turn to the national systems of Macedonia and Serbia. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the level of protection from and prevention of torture that international standards and mechanisms offer. At the same time, to examine the system for torture prevention established on national level and its compliance with international standards. The analysis of the thesis shows that although there is a wide-spread system for torture prevention established on both national and international level, deficiencies can be encountered and there is space for improvements which will lead to a more effective fight with the phenomenon of torture. |
