Guidelines
Index of Implementation for the UN Bangkok Rules
The Index of Implementation accompanies the Guidance Document on the Bangkok Rules. Developed in partnership with the Thailand Institute of Justice, it seeks to assist key actors and others to assess the extent to which the Bangkok Rules are reflected in their criminal justice systems, to help identify gaps in implementation and, together with the Guidance Document on the Bangkok Rules, to provide a basis for developing policies, strategies and action plans to improve implementation.
The Index of Implementation is designed as a set of checklists, allowing both a rapid assessment with questions that merely require positive or negative responses, and an in-depth and detailed assessment through follow-up questions.
The Index of Implementation has nine chapters, each addressed to a different key actor. Questions are posed under the relevant Rules for each actor, to enable an assessment of progress towards implementation, and perhaps more importantly, to help those responsible identify the questions they need to ask of themselves and their staff.
