party, which raises further concerns as to whether the State party has established appropriate protocols for identifying possible victims of human trafficking (arts. 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16). 39. The State party should: (a) Investigate reports of young women entering the country on private airplanes for purposes of sexual exploitation amounting to inhuman treatment, prosecute the perpetrators and, if they are found guilty, punish the traffickers and Government officials or agents if they have been engaged in trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation or labour exploitation; (b) Ensure that measures are in place to identify possible victims of trafficking and establish protocols in this regard; (c) Ensure that immigration officers and other relevant personnel are trained to identify and take action in such cases. Violence against women and gender-based violence 40. While taking note that the State party has adopted the Family Violence Protection Act and was working on the Domestic Violence Act, the Committee is concerned at the high incidence of violence against women, including those in detention, and the problems faced by the authorities in gathering data on violence against women or gender-based violence that may arise through acts or omissions by State agents and others that engage the State’s responsibility in accordance with the Convention (arts. 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16). 41. The State party should: (a) Expedite the adoption of the Domestic Violence Act; (b) Collect comprehensive statistics on all forms of violence against women, including those in detention, through acts or omissions by State agents and others that engage the State’s responsibility in accordance with the Convention; (c) Strengthen its efforts to ensure that police respond appropriately to complaints of all forms of violence against women and to establish an effective and independent complaint mechanism for victims of violence; (d) Ensure that all allegations of violence are registered and are promptly, impartially and effectively investigated, and the perpetrators prosecuted, and if convicted, punished with commensurate sanctions; (e) Provide mandatory training to all law enforcement officials, judges and others who interact with victims of all forms of violence against women; (f) Ensure that all victims of violence against women obtain redress. Follow-up procedure 42. The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 10 August 2019, information on follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations regarding fundamental legal safeguards; prolonged pre-trial detention; conditions of detention; and the National Human Rights Commission (see paragraphs 17 (a), (b) and (c); 19, 23 (a), (b) and (g); and 27). In the same context, the State party is invited to inform the Committee about its plans for implementing within the coming reporting period, some or all of the remaining recommendations in the concluding observations. Other issues 43. The Committee invites the State party to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention and any other core United Nations human rights treaties to which it is not yet party. 44. The State party is invited to submit its common core document, in accordance with the requirements contained in the harmonized guidelines on reporting under the international human rights treaties (HRI/GEN.2/Rev.6). 10
