UN recommendation

Argymhelliad Cymreig clir

Dylai’r Llywodraeth gynyddu ymdrechion i sicrhau bod amodau cadw yn gyson â safonau hawliau dynol rhyngwladol, gan gynnwys Rheolau Gofynnol Safonol y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar gyfer Trin Carcharorion (Rheolau Nelson Mandela). Yn benodol, dylai’r Llywodraeth:
(a) Barhau â’i hymdrechion i leihau gorlenwi carchardai. Yn benodol, ehangu’r defnydd o fesurau di-garchar. Dylid defnyddio Rheolau Isafswm Safonol y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar gyfer Mesurau Di-garchar (Rheolau Tokyo) yn lle carcharu.  Hefyd, caniatewch orchymyn gwasanaeth cymunedol yn lle carchar am ddiffyg dirwyon;
(b) Gyfyngu ar gyfyngiad unigol a gwahaniad gweinyddol neu ddisgyblaethol i’r dewis olaf. Eu defnyddio am gyn lleied o amser â phosib. Sicrhau bod eu defnydd yn destun adolygiad barnwrol;
(c) Rhaid i weithdrefnau chwilio’r corff gael eu goruchwylio’n llym. Dim ond mewn achosion eithriadol y dylid cynnal chwiliadau ymledol a rhaid iddynt fod mor anymwthiol â phosibl. Rhaid iddynt barchu urddas a hunaniaeth rhywedd yr unigolyn yn llawn;
(d) Gynyddu ymdrechion i atal marwolaethau hunan-achosedig,
hunanladdiad a hunan-niwed yn y ddalfa. Sicrhau bod pob un o’r achosion hyn yn cael eu hymchwilio’n annibynnol ac yn drylwyr.


Original UN recommendation

The State party should intensify its efforts to ensure that conditions of detention fully comply with relevant international human rights standards, including the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Nelson Mandela Rules). In particular, the State party should:
(a) Continue its efforts to reduce prison overcrowding, particularly through wider application of non-custodial measures, as provided for in the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Non-custodial Measures (the Tokyo Rules), as an alternative to imprisonment, and provide for a community service order as an alternative to imprisonment for the non-payment of fines;
(b) Effectively limit the use of solitary confinement and administrative or disciplinary segregation as a measure of last resort and for as short a time as possible, and ensure that the use of such measures is subject to judicial review;
(c) Ensure that body search procedures are strictly supervised and that invasive searches are conducted only in exceptional cases and in the least intrusive manner possible, with full respect for the dignity and gender identity of the individual concerned;
(d) Increase its efforts to prevent self-inflicted deaths, including by suicide, and self-harm in custody and ensure that cases of self-inflicted death, including by suicide, and self-harm are independently and thoroughly investigated.
