The State party should consider relinquishing the use of electric taser weapons, the impact of which on the physical and mental state of targeted persons would appear to violate articles 2 and 16 of the Convention. Violence against women (17) While appreciating the various initiatives taken by the State party to eliminate violence against women, the Committee remains concerned about the continued prevalence of violence against women, particularly Maori, Pacific and minority women, and the low rates of prosecution and convictions for crimes of violence against women, as also stated by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW/C/NZL/CO/6, para. 24) (art. 16). The State party should ensure that all reasonable allegations of violence against women are promptly and impartially investigated, alleged perpetrators duly prosecuted, and punished if found guilty, and victims accorded adequate redress, including compensation and rehabilitation. The State party should also put in place additional protective measures for women, such as enabling the police to issue protective orders. The State party should continue to launch programmes of public awareness and sensitization to prevent and eradicate of violence against women. Data collection (18) The Committee regrets the lack of data and statistical information, especially on alleged cases of torture, the type and number of complaints, prosecution and conviction of perpetrators, if found guilty, as well as on compensation and rehabilitation of victims (arts. 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16). The State party should provide detailed statistical data, disaggregated by crime, ethnicity and gender, on complaints relating to torture and ill-treatment allegedly committed by law enforcement officials, as well as on the related investigations, prosecutions and criminal and disciplinary sanctions. (19) The Committee invites the State party to ratify the core United Nations human rights treaties to which it is not yet a party, namely the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families and the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. (20) The State party is encouraged to disseminate widely the reports submitted by the State party to the Committee and the latter’s concluding observations, in appropriate languages, through official websites, the media and non-governmental organizations. (21) The Committee requests the State party to provide, within one year, information on measures taken in response to the Committee’s recommendations, as contained in paragraphs 9, 11, 14 and 16. (22) The State party is invited to submit its next report, which will be considered as its sixth periodic report, by 15 May 2013. 51. Nicaragua (1) The Committee considered the initial report of Nicaragua (CAT/C/NIC/1) at its 872nd and 874th meetings (see CAT/C/SR.872 and 874), held on 30 April and 1 May 2009, and adopted the following concluding observations at its 890th and 891st meetings, held on 13 May 2009 (CAT/C/SR.890 and 891). A. Introduction (2) The Committee welcomes the initial report of Nicaragua but regrets the delay in its submission. The Committee appreciates the constructive and fruitful dialogue that it held with a capable delegation from the State party and is grateful for its frank and detailed replies to the Committee’s questions. The Committee also thanks the State party for the additional information sent by the delegation. 107
