Access to information, documents and other things
8M Access to information, documents and other things
This section applies if the NPM believes on reasonable grounds that an entity can provide information or produce a document or something else relevant to its examination of the treatment of detainees in a place of detention.
Examples—information relevant to examination of the treatment of detainees
1 the number of detainees in a place of detention
2 the conditions of detention applying to detainees
3 the number or location of places of detention
The NPM may, by written notice given to the entity, require the entity to provide the information or produce the document or other thing.
The Territory must not prevent or obstruct the provision of the information or the production of the document or other thing under this section, even if the Territory would be entitled to do so if the examination were a legal proceeding.
