Cape Verde replied to advance questions and additional issues raised during the interactive dialogue. It was stressed that the country had made great efforts to ensure that education without discrimination was accessible to all, that access to health was made available to the population, including those living in both urban and rural areas, and to supress violence against detainees, children, women and the elderly in the home. Therefore, Cape Verde had welcomed the presence of and being in contact with international organizations, such as OHCHR, to help monitor the implementation of its obligations under the relevant international human rights instruments. 82. With regard to questions on preventative detention, it was explained that, according to domestic legislation, that measure could only be applied under certain strict conditions, such as risk of absconding or reoffending, and for restricted periods defined by law. The Criminal Code of Procedure determined that preventative detention could not exceed four months without charges being brought. It was recalled that persons arrested by the police must be brought before a judge within 48 hours who would determine if the person should be detained while awaiting trial. Additionally, persons in preventative detention were brought before a judge every three months to re-evaluate the necessity of maintaining the detainee. Cape Verde recognized that there were often delays in criminal procedures, but highlighted that efforts were being made to bring its practice into line with international standards. 83. Cape Verde shared concerns expressed regarding human rights training of prison officials to ensure that prisons complied with their basic function, which was, according to the country’s laws and the Constitution, the social reintegration of offenders. In that sense, prison officials were also agents for offenders’ social reintegration. Cape Verde had attributed budgetary resources to ensuring the training of prison officials not only with regard to aspects relating to maintaining security but also in human relations, reintegration and human rights. It was highlighted that two training sessions had already been carried out in 2013 and details provided in that regard. 11
