investigation. j) sanctions are imposed only in the cases of particularly serious offences, possibly due to publicity. k) the sanctions provided by the legal framework do not always correspond to the severity of the offences. Thus, the commanding officers are led to the mitigation of their findings. D) Other Monitoring Bodies and Institutions The question of police ill-treatment and efficient investigation of relevant complaints has been addressed also by both the Committee against Torture and the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance. Both bodies acknowledge the fact that the situation is problematic without referring to specific incidents. Furthermore, the Human Rights Committee in the case Kalamiotis,40 which concerned ill-treatment during arrest, took the view that there had been a violation of article 2 par. 3 ICCPR in conjunction with article 7 because of the inefficient and prejudicial investigation of the complaint. The disciplinary procedure was limited to an informal investigation, the complainant and the witnesses were not questioned and the judicial council closed the case on the basis of the police investigation. Moreover, Human Rights Watch in its Report refers to incidents of illtreatment of aliens detainees by police officers. V. Observations The aforementioned reports of both international and national monitoring bodies and NGOs depict a problematic situation regarding detention conditions in non-correctional facilities which is need of urgent both short-term and long-term interventions. The NCHR would like to underline that in order for the problems to be addressed effectively a holistic approach is required concerning detention conditions in all facilities as well as the issue of undocumented migrants. Given that these issues are interlinked, fragmentary measures will not produce viable solutions. 40 Kalamiotis v. Greece, Communication No 1486/2006, CCPR/C/93/D/1486/2006 (5 August 2008). 14
