Objectives
The Observatory's objectives are:
-
To observe, analyze and inform about the operation of criminal justice system institutions (prisons, detention centres, internment centres for foreigners, judges, security forces)
-
To contribute in the defence of human rights, which are every day more menaced by security policies, surveillance and control
-
To watch over the fulfilment of strict legality in the criminal justice system and work to achieve its maximum of transparency
-
Give instruments to allow people and social organisations to gain more power and are stronger in their fight against policies of control, security, social exclusion and illegality.
