CAT/C/TCD/CO/1 page 12 recruitment of child soldiers by all parties to the conflict, in particular in sites for displaced persons and refugee camps. The Committee also regrets that only a small number of children have been demobilized since the signing of the agreement with UNICEF, including only very few of the children involved in the Chadian armed forces (art. 16). The State party should: (a) With the support of the United Nations and civil society, draft a time-bound plan of action to prevent the illicit recruitment of child soldiers and to facilitate their rehabilitation and reintegration into society and institute transparent procedures for the liberation and monitoring of the demobilization of children involved in armed groups operating in Chadian territory; (b) Criminalize the illicit recruitment and use of children in armed conflicts; (c) Investigate and prosecute persons responsible for recruiting child soldiers in order to put an end to impunity; (d) Launch a public information campaign to ensure that all members of the armed forces are aware of Chad’s international obligations to prevent the use and recruitment of child soldiers in armed conflicts; (e) Authorize the verification by United Nations led teams of the presence of children in military camps, training centres and detention centres, as agreed by the State party in May 2008 during the visit of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict; (f) Ensure that refugee camps and sites for displaced persons are of a civilian and humanitarian nature and increase the security and protection of civilian populations both within and around them, given that such measures help in preventing the recruitment of children and in protecting them. Training on the prohibition of torture 35. While acknowledging the State party’s significant efforts to provide human rights training to public officials, the Committee is concerned that the information, education and training provided to military and law-enforcement personnel and prison staff, army personnel, judges and prosecutors are inadequate and do not cover all the provisions of the Convention, in particular the non-derogable nature of the prohibition of torture and the prevention of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The Committee also notes with concern that medical personnel working in detention facilities receive no specific training in how to detect signs of torture and ill-treatment (art. 10). The State party should strengthen its training programmes for all law-enforcement and army personnel on the absolute prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment, as well as those for prosecutors and judges on the State party’s obligations under the Convention. The programmes should include the inadmissibility of confessions and statements obtained as a result of torture.
