The ACT is now ready for the United Nations Subcommittee to inspect its places of detention following the ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture (OPCAT) in December.
The Monitoring of Places of Detention (Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture) Bill 2017 sets out the powers of the UN Subcommittee should it elect to visit a place of detention in the ACT.
