CAT/C/IRQ/CO/1 information on the impact of the training provided. It also regrets the lack of specific training provided to law enforcement officials, judges, prosecutors, forensic doctors and medical personnel dealing with detained persons on how to detect and document physical and psychological sequelae of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (art. 10). The State party should: (a) Further develop mandatory training programmes to ensure that all public officials, in particular law enforcement officers, military personnel, prison staff and medical personnel employed in prisons and psychiatric hospitals, are well acquainted with the provisions of the Convention and are fully aware that violations will not be tolerated and will be investigated, and that those responsible will be prosecuted; (b) Develop and apply a methodology for assessing how effective training programmes are in reducing the number of cases of torture and ill-treatment and in ensuring the investigation and prosecution of these acts; (c) Ensure that all relevant staff, including medical personnel, are specifically trained to identify cases of torture and ill-treatment, in accordance with the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Istanbul Protocol). Redress and rehabilitation 31. While noting the State party’s assertion that its legislation provides civil remedies for seeking redress in cases of torture and ill-treatment, the Committee regrets that the delegation did not provide information on reparation and compensation measures ordered by the courts or other State bodies and actually provided to victims of torture or their families since the entry into force of the Convention in the State party (art. 14). The State party should immediately take legal and other measures to ensure that all victims of torture and ill-treatment are identified, obtain redress and have an enforceable right to fair and adequate compensation, including the means for as full rehabilitation as possible. The Committee draws the State party’s attention to its general comment No. 3, in which it elaborates on the nature and scope of State parties’ obligations under article 14 of the Convention to provide full redress to victims of torture. Follow-up procedure 32. The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 15 August 2016, follow-up information in response to the Committee’s recommendations contained in paragraphs 11 (a), 12, 13 and 15 (a). Other issues 33. The Committee encourages the State party to consider making the declaration under article 22 of the Convention, recognizing the competence of the Committee to receive and consider communications from individuals subject to its jurisdiction. 34. The Committee recommends that the State party consider acceding to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and becoming party to the Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the protection of victims of non-international armed conflicts. 10
