- State under Review
- Recommendation
Mongolia is committed to strengthen its efforts to investigate all allegations of torture and police brutality. National legislation in force prohibits an arbitrary detention of persons by law enforcement officials as such action has to be approved by the judge. Thus, the recommendation is unacceptable.

- Recommendation
The delegation reiterated that torture was a subject of serious concern in Mongolia and acceding to the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2011 was one of many efforts by the Government to abolish all torture cases in the country. There were a total of 14 cases of torture recorded, and as of 2014 two cases had been addressed. Furthermore, the delegation reiterated Mongolia's commitment to incorporating the subject of torture in the educational programme curricular. This provision of torture had already been included for law enforcement officers, however, the curricular for prosecutors should also include the subject of torture.
