Abstract
The paper discusses the issue of national preventive mechanisms established
by states in the performance of duties imposed by the Optional Protocol to the
Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment
or Punishment, adopted by the United Nations. The purpose of the study is
to present specific challenges related to the establishment and functioning
of institutions responsible for monitoring places of detention at the national
level. These challenges stem from the unique nature of the two-pillar system
of prevention established by the OPCAT, and the dualism of national preventive
mechanisms, which are rooted in both international and domestic
law. The author’s research is based on an analysis of four significant aspects:
the wide margin of appreciation granted to states in establishing national
preventive mechanisms, the obligation to guarantee the independence of
mechanisms, granting access to all places of detention, and cooperation with
the Subcommittee on Prevention. The study includes examples of established
national preventive mechanisms and an analysis of the first general comment
to OPCAT, adopted in 2024.
