A/HRC/24/32 learned about fair trial rights, how they were applied at the Extraordinary Chambers, and heard from various guest speakers, including from the Extraordinary Chambers, which hey also visited. During the period under review, OHCHR also organized, for the first time, in association with the Bar Association, a legal dialogue between lawyers working at the Extraordinary Chambers (defence lawyers and civil party lawyers) and lawyers working in the domestic system. Lastly, OHCHR had the OHCHR rule-of-law tool on maximizing the legacy of hybrid courts translated into Khmer and published. IV. Support for prison reform 35. The Prison Reform Support Programme is aimed at supporting changes in the management of prisons and the treatment of prisoners in Cambodia, thus improving respect for the human rights of detained persons in conflict with the law. To achieve this aim, the Programme works closely with the General Department of Prisons of the Ministry of the Interior and all prisons and correctional centres under its authority, as well as many other relevant actors from other ministries (Justice, Health, and Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth) and civil society and development partners. During the period under review, OHCHR continued to work collaboratively with all partners and to support cooperation between the General Department of Prisons and non-governmental organizations. Some important improvements were made in the enjoyment of the rights of detainees. 36. Training of prison staff is a key factor in improving respect for prisoners’ rights. The Office continued its support for curriculum development and for building the capacity of the trainers from the General Department of Prisons and the Centre for Professional Training of Prison Guards of the Police Academy of Cambodia. The training of trainers programme focusing on skills and methodology, conducted with the non-governmental training partner VBNK since June 2011, was completed with a last series of coaching sessions in July 2012 and a final debriefing meeting with the prison authorities in September. The final assessments given by the trainees on the training skills acquired or strengthened were positive. Several modules regarding, inter alia, mental health in prison, communication with prisoners and conflict prevention in prison were also developed during the period under review with the non-governmental psychosocial organization Transcultural Psychosocial Organisation (TPO) Cambodia; in parallel, a series of three training of trainers and refresher training workshops were held between July 2012 and March 2013, followed by a pilot training course for staff from Correctional Centres Nos. 1 and 2 near Phnom Penh. Cooperation continued with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in Cambodia, resulting in the production of a draft curriculum on general health in prison for non-medical prison personnel, which will now be submitted to the Ministry of Health for review. OHCHR also facilitated the organization of the first annual meeting of the joint training team from the General Department of Prisons and the Police Academy, which focused on strengthening the prison curriculum, building the capacity of trainers further, and drafting a plan of action. The Khmer version of an international handbook on a human rights-based approach to prison management, earlier translated by OHCHR, was printed for distribution to prison staff and prison staff trainees. 37. OHCHR continued to enjoy unfettered access to prisons across Cambodia, and to hold confidential interviews with prisoners in order to monitor general conditions and treatment. In addition to following up on individual cases, requests or complaints for protection purposes (for instance, linking up individuals with medical or legal service providers), the monitoring approach remained focused on preventive visits, as envisaged under the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. As such, the monitoring visits continued to feed 10
