“…There is now a vibrant scholarship examining OPCAT and the work of NPMs. Reflecting the fact that many countries around the world are yet to designate NPMs, or are at the early stages of implementation, much of this scholarship uses legal methodology to interpret OPCAT’s provisions (Murray et al., 2011; Rogan, 2019; Steinerte, 2014; Steinerte and Murray, 2009), especially to assess how OPCAT operates, or will operate, in particular countries (Culo, 2015; Fernandez, 2005; McGregor, 2017; Pierce, 2014). Scholarship has also examined the interactions between different types or layers of prison monitoring, such as the relationship between the SPT and the CPT (de Beco, 2011).…”
