A/HRC/21/35 of HIV and tuberculosis), in partnership with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and in relation to mental health, stress management and conflict resolution in prison. In June 2012, OHCHR organized a further week-long session of training of trainers by an international expert on prison staff training engaged by the Office. The aim of the training was to help the trainers to clarify training objectives on the basis of the needs identified in the Cambodian prison system, and to develop by themselves training content for prison staff, in accordance with the domestic framework. As part of the preparation of training and reference material, the Office also conducted a review of its Khmer language version of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, and finalized for distribution a Khmer translation of the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders. 11. OHCHR continued to have access to prison authorities, regular access to prisons and the ability to hold confidential interviews with prisoners. It remains one of only two incountry organizations to be granted unfettered access to prisons to monitor general conditions and treatment or to follow up on individual requests, complaints or allegations of abuses or ill-treatment. OHCHR monitoring led to a number of follow-up activities to help to address the issues identified, including the enjoyment of both civil and political rights, as well as economic, social and cultural rights in prison. 12. The Office followed up on the nationwide census of prisoners pending appeal, which it had helped the prison authorities to carry out in early 2011. The data collected were analysed and shared with the authorities. In particular, lists were prepared, disaggregating the caseload according to a number of criteria (such as prisoners pending appeal for more than five, seven or ten years, old age and juvenile prisoners, and prisoners overstaying on appeal, namely still detained after the end of the first instance sentence, including prisoners acquitted at first instance), so that they could be prioritized for legal assistance and hearing at the Court of Appeal. 13. A particular area of focus during the year was disaster response and preparedness at the prison level. In common with several countries in the region, Cambodia was affected by severe flooding at the end of 2011 and prisons were not spared, most particularly in Siem Reap province. OHCHR prompt provided affected prisons assistance to help them to continue to ensure safe custody while preserving prisoners’ rights, including the right to safe drinking water and sanitation and, more generally, the right to humane treatment, including access to the outdoors. Relief support provided by OHCHR included sand and sandbags for flood dikes, pumps and fuel to evacuate flood water and chlorine tablets for safe drinking water, as well as hygiene and medical items to alleviate the impact on the health of staff and prisoners. Besides providing emergency assistance, OHCHR worked together with the prison directors and other relevant stakeholders on risk assessment and the identification of solutions for flood prevention and mitigation. Since prisoners cannot be easily relocated at times of natural disasters, more efforts should be made early on to prevent or mitigate the risks in the first place. OHCHR, the Ministry of the Interior and the National Committee for Disaster Management held a workshop to discuss flood and fire preparedness in July 2012. 14. OHCHR continued to promote the right of prisoners to health. Initiatives included ongoing advocacy with the authorities for the inclusion of compassionate medical grounds in the future royal decree on sentence reduction and pardon in the case of prisoners who are terminally ill or whose medical condition is otherwise so serious that they are unfit for detention and would no longer be a threat to society if released. Efforts also included continued support and advocacy to secure the availability of more hospital rooms so that prisoners in need of hospitalization may be hospitalized in such a way that their safe custody is ensured and their dignity respected. In 2012, OHCHR is providing the provincial 5
