It is clear that establishing an NPM is much more than just giving the current Control Yuan a new title.

It is necessary to distinguish the situations when a medicine is used as “treatment” or as “restraint”.

NPM has the responsibility to advocate against the stigma on people with mental disabilities.

We should also remember that the NPM is not the only measure prescribed by the Convention against Torture to prevent torture.

How should we determine the nature of those treatments and determine whether they reach the level of ill-treatment?

It’s the NPM’s responsibility to continue monitoring and pressure for reform whenever there is a chance.

Would the degrading treatment of migrants in the unknown facility hidden in the woods be revealed to the world if there was no NPM?

The better the preparations are done, the more likely that the monitors can reveal the signs of torture and ill treatment.

The “places of detention” not only includes prisons and police stations, but also health care and social care facilities like private elderly homes.
