CAT/C/COG/CO/1 Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law established by Decree No. 159-2007 of 14 February 2007 is reportedly not able to carry out its human rights training activities owing to a lack of funding (art. 10). The State party should: (a) Allocate sufficient financial resources to provide regular training programmes, in order to ensure that all State officials involved in the custody, interrogation or treatment of persons under State control are fully aware of the provisions of the Convention, that breaches will not be tolerated and will be investigated and that the perpetrators of offences will be brought to trial; (b) Assess the effectiveness and impact of training and education programmes in terms of reducing the number of cases of torture and ill-treatment; (c) Provide support for training for all competent officials, including medical personnel, on the use of the Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and on gender-based violence. Data collection 22. While noting the recent launch of the National Centre for Statistics, the Committee regrets the lack of comprehensive, disaggregated data on the number of complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions, on any reparation awarded to victims relating to acts of torture and ill-treatment attributed to law enforcement officials and on the lack of data on the number and cause of deaths in detention. The State party should: (a) Collect statistical data, disaggregated by age and sex of the victim, for use in monitoring the implementation of the Convention at the national level, in particular, data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions, convictions and compensation for acts of torture and ill-treatment attributed to law enforcement officials and committed against persons held in police custody, prison or other places of deprivation of liberty. Statistical data should also be provided on the number and cause of deaths in detention; (b) Request the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to provide technical cooperation assistance in order to increase its capacity to take action in response to the Committee’s request. Follow-up procedure 23. The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 15 May 2016, follow-up information in response to the Committee’s recommendations contained in paragraph 8 concerning the definition and criminalization of torture, paragraph 9 concerning the National Human Rights Commission, paragraph 10 concerning allegations of torture and ill-treatment and paragraph 13 concerning conditions of detention, especially subparagraph (d) on the resources to eliminate undernourishment. Other issues 24. The Committee invites the State party to consider speeding up the process of ratifying the main United Nations human rights instruments to which it is not yet party, namely: (a) The Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment; 8 GE.15-10644
