CAT/C/MUS/CO/3 The State party should take concrete measures to ensure that complaints lodged against the police are addressed promptly, thoroughly and impartially by independent complaint mechanisms and that those responsible can be prosecuted, convicted and punished. In this regard, the State party should rapidly adopt and implement the draft Police Complaints Bill under preparation and establish the Independent Police Complaints Bureau; adopt a new Police Act and a Police Procedures and Criminal Evidence Act, as well as Codes of Practice to regulate the conduct of persons entrusted to investigate offences. The State party should also ensure the implementation of recommendations made by the National Human Rights Commission in 2007 regarding the conduct of the police and inform the Committee on its concrete results. Non-refoulement 12. The Committee is concerned that the legislation of the State does not clearly and fully guarantee the principle of non-refoulement set out in article 3 of the Convention, as requested by the Committee in its concluding observations (A/54/44, 1999, para. 123 (c)). It is also concerned about the lack of sufficient information regarding the process followed in cases of requests for extradition as well as the procedural guarantees the person extradited enjoys, including the right to appeal against the extradition, with suspensive effect (art. 3). The State party should revise its legislation guaranteeing the principle of nonrefoulement. The State party should review its Extradition Act to make it in full compliance with article 3 of the Convention, in particular, it should clarify the process under which extradition is requested and decided, the guarantees offered, including the possibility to challenge the decision with suspensive effect in order to ensure that persons expelled, returned or extradited are not in danger of being subject to torture. The State party should also provide detailed statistical data on the number of requests received, the requesting States and the number of persons extradited or not. Human rights education and training 13. While noting efforts undertaken by the State party to provide human rights education and training to police officers and other personnel, including on the prevention of torture, the Committee regrets the lack of information about the concrete results of such training programmes. The Committee is also concerned about the fact that training programmes for medical personnel do not include the “Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment” (Istanbul Protocol) (art. 10). The State party should reinforce its training programmes to law enforcement and medical personnel, and to those involved in documenting and investigating acts of torture, on the provisions of the Convention, as well as on other instruments, such as the “Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment” (Istanbul Protocol). The State party should also set out a methodology to assess the concrete impact of such training programmes and inform the Committee on their results. In this regard, the State party is encouraged to seek technical assistance from international bodies and organizations. Conditions of detention 14. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the State party regarding its efforts to improve conditions of detention, including the construction on a new Prison for 750 detainees at Melrose. However, the Committee is concerned about the 4
