The role of independent detention monitoring in protecting human rights in prisons while preventing and countering VERLT

On 15 July 2021, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), in collaboration with Penal Reform International (PRI), will hold an online webinar to launch their new publication “Protecting Human Rights in Prisons while Preventing Radicalization Leading to Terrorism or Violence: A Guide for Detention Monitors”. The publication underlines the importance of independent detention monitoring and looks in detail at a number of specific human rights risk areas in preventing and countering violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism (VERLT) in a prison context. For each of those risk areas the Guide highlights relevant issues for detention monitors to consider and assess in carrying out their work; and it discusses specific practical challenges that may arise when examining VERLT-related issues in detention monitoring.

The webinar will consist of a brief presentation of the new publication; a keynote address on the role of independent detention monitoring for the protection of human rights while preventing and countering VERLT in prisons; and a moderated panel discussion with national and international experts and detention monitors. The panel discussion will provide space to address questions and comments from the audience.
