This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Working Group on its mission to Italy. It mentions that a system of open-ended “security measures” was put in place for persons who have committed an offence and are considered dangerous on the basis of mental illness or drug addiction. However, the Working Group expresses concerns about the lack of sufficient safeguards regarding this system.
