Reports

The Ombudsman Board annually submits a report to the members of the National and the Federal Council about the observations it made at the federal level in the working years. The report contains recommendations for amendments of the law and results of the monitoring of institutions and facilities where persons are or may be deprived of their liberty. Starting in 2013, the AOB also annually publishes a report on the activities of the National Preventive Mechanism. In addition, the AOB can report on special observations at any time. The results of its monitoring and ex-post control at the regional and the municipal level are available in the reports to the respective Diets.

The AOB submits its annual report also to the UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT).

The English summary of the report concentrates on the key facts and figures as well as human rights related cases.
