Summary/Abstract: Given the importance of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and the fact that on its base the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment and Punishment (CPT) has been established, this essay aims to present the role and importance of this Committee. It has been established with the task to, through visiting institutions where persons are deprived of their liberty or arrested, examine how they are treat- ed in order, if necessary, to increase the level of protection of such people from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In organizing its visits, the Committee has not bypassed our country and in this essay some segments of the visits to the local institutions as well as the recommendations which were addressed to them will be shown.
