Prohibition of Ill-treatment – A Manual for Police Officers and Prison Staff (in Serbian), 2010.
Primary aim of this manual, for police officers and members of staff of institutions for deprivation of liberty, is to prevent abuse, above all by helping police officers and prison guards to differentiate between forbidden and permitted treatment, as well as to introduce them to mandatory and desirable standards of treatment of persons deprived of liberty.
The regulations of relevant international treaties which our country has ratified are more narrowly specified. Also, the manual explains the mandate and work of supervisory bodies which report and prevent occurrences of torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or behaviour, or those which adjudicate in proceedings which individuals initiate when they believe that they are victims of torture are explained.
