CAT/C/ITA/CO/5-6 those acts have been removed from public service pending the outcome of the investigation of the complaint (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 16). 41. The Committee urges the State party to: (a) Ensure that all complaints of torture and ill-treatment are promptly investigated in an impartial manner by an independent body, that there is no institutional or hierarchical relationship between that body’s investigators and the suspected perpetrators of such acts, and that the suspected perpetrators are duly tried and, if found guilty, punished in a manner that is commensurate with the gravity of their acts; (b) Ensure that the authorities launch investigations whenever there are reasonable grounds to believe that an act of torture or ill-treatment has been committed; (c) Ensure that, in cases of alleged torture and/or ill-treatment, suspected perpetrators are suspended from duty immediately for the duration of the investigation, particularly when there is a risk that they might otherwise be in a position to repeat the alleged act, commit reprisals against the alleged victim or obstruct the investigation; (d) Compile disaggregated statistical information relevant to the monitoring of the Convention, including data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in cases of torture and ill-treatment. Redress, including rehabilitation 42. The Committee regrets that the delegation did not provide information on redress, including compensation measures ordered by the courts or other State bodies and actually provided to victims of torture or their families, since the consideration of the previous periodic report. It also regrets that the State party has presented no information on reparation programmes or on measures taken to support and facilitate the work of nongovernmental organizations that seek to provide rehabilitation to victims of torture and illtreatment (art. 14). 43. The State party should ensure that all victims of torture and ill-treatment obtain redress, including an enforceable right to fair and adequate compensation and the means for as full a rehabilitation as possible. The Committee draws the State party’s attention to its general comment No. 3 (2012) on the implementation of article 14 by States parties, in which it elaborates on the nature and scope of the obligations of States parties under article 14 of the Convention to provide full redress to victims of torture. The State party should also provide the Committee with information on redress and on compensation measures, including means of rehabilitation, ordered by the courts or other State bodies and actually provided to victims of torture or illtreatment. Gender-based violence 44. The Committee notes with concern the high prevalence of gender-based violence against women and girls in the State party. It is also concerned at the low prosecution and conviction rates for femicide, sexual violence and other forms of violence against women, including female genital mutilation, during the period under review (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 16). 45. The Committee encourages the State party to redouble its efforts to combat all forms of gender-based violence, and to ensure that all complaints are thoroughly investigated and that suspected offenders are prosecuted and, if convicted, punished appropriately. The State party should also ensure that victims receive full redress for the harm suffered, including fair and adequate compensation and the fullest rehabilitation possible. It should also provide mandatory training on prosecution for gender-based violence to all enforcement and justice officials and continue awarenessraising campaigns on all forms of violence against women. 9
