NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM RECOMMENDATIONS

Year Recommendation Report
2022The Guarantor specifies that it falls outside the scope of its mandate to implement and participate in activities aimed at preventing radicalisation in Italian detention facilities. The National Guarantor also recommends public authorities to adopt a National Plan for Deradicalisation and Rehabilitation of Italian and foreign detainees, favouring its involvement in the drafting process.
