OPCAT Country Status

The APT changed the name of its main resource on NPM processes and establishment in States Parties and Signatories to the OPCAT. The APT NPM Country-by-Country Status Report is now called OPCAT Country Status. The OPCAT Country Status will not only include information on ratification processes and national implementation (e.g. NPMs) in States Parties and Signatories. It will also contain regularly updated information on States considering the signature, ratification or accession of the OPCAT. This document should thus be a more comprehensive resource on OPCAT development worldwide.

APT is currently working on a database, of the same information, to facilitate the search for particular data. This will be ready in 2010.
