What steps need to be taken after the choice of NPM has been made?

Following a decision about the NPM model, a number of immediate steps may be required. These include drafting and adopting new laws or legislative change, if necessary, in order to ensure that the NPM, whether it is a new specialised institution, multiple body-type, or a NHRI, fulfil the mandate and powers requirements of the OPCAT. Immediate steps should also include granting the adequate funding, both for new institutions and for existing institutions that take on a new NPM mandate. States should also notify the SPT of NPM establishment or designation, via a letter to the SPT Secretariat.
