Madagascar

Madagascar signed the OPCAT in 2003 and ratified on 21 September 2017.

As for the NPM designation process, on 1 June 2018 the Parliament adopted a law amending the founding legislation of the National Human Rights Commission, to grant it the NPM mandate. The High Constitutional Court declared the  of Law n ° 2018-028  to be in conformity with the Constitution, by decision n ° 02-HCC / D3 of January 23, 2019, allowing it to enter into force.

While the NPM is established, however, it does not have a separate budget within the Commission. The SPT has also not yet been officially notified of designation.
