During the Conference was noted the role of police in society – first structureaimed to protect the fundamental rights of the people. Was also discussed about the importance of combating impunity and protecting human rights by policemen, through observance of legal norms and continuous education on human rights standards. In this regard it is essential to ensure guarantees immediately after the arrest - the right to a lawyer and presentation of detained person's rights, the right to inform relatives about the detention and the right to be examined by a doctor.

With regard to penitentiaries activity was stressed that these institutions are created primarily for the rehabilitation of convicted persons, criminal punishment having no purpose of causing physical or mental suffering.

From the perspective of national mechanisms for torture prevention activities, was mentioned their task to monitor the detention institutions, the role for prophylaxis of ill-treatment and notification of the prosecutors in the case of psychological or physical abuse detection. Consequently, if there was a case of torture, the fact finding mission lies with prosecutors. Structural changes in the police and penitentiaries activity, including in the direction of avoiding of ill-treatment application must be waited patiently, material efforts being needed and mentality change.
