CAT/C/BGR/CO/6 proceedings. It is also concerned at reports about a significant number of cases in which children testified that they had been coerced into making confessions for acts they did not commit (arts. 2, 15 and 16). 36. Recalling its previous recommendation (see CAT/C/BGR/CO/4-5, para. 18), the Committee recommends that the State party enact legislation specifically prohibiting the use of statements obtained through any form of coercion or torture as evidence in all judicial proceedings, in conformity with article 15 of the Convention. In addition, the State party should: (a) Ensure that all persons, including juveniles, convicted on the basis of coerced evidence or as a result of torture or ill-treatment are afforded a new trial and adequate redress; (b) Ensure that, in practice, statements made as a result of torture may not be invoked as evidence in any proceedings, except against the person accused of torture; (c) Through its judiciary, including the Supreme Court of Cassation, take measures to ensure the review of convictions based solely on confessions, since many may have been based on evidence obtained through torture and ill-treatment, and should conduct prompt and impartial investigations into such cases, take appropriate remedial measures and provide information on whether any officials have been prosecuted and punished for extracting such confessions; (d) Provide the Committee with information on any cases in which confessions were deemed inadmissible on the ground that they were obtained through torture and indicate whether any officials have been prosecuted and punished for extracting such confessions. Follow-up procedure 37. The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 6 December 2018, information on follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations relating to excessive use of force, to the national preventive mechanism and to the situation of asylum seekers and migrants (see paras. 12 (b) and (d)–(f), 20 and 24 (b)–(e)). 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 38. The Committee invites the State party to ratify the core United Nations human rights treaties to which it is not yet party. 39. The State party is requested to disseminate widely the report submitted to the Committee and the present concluding observations, in appropriate languages, through official websites, the media and non-governmental organizations. 40. The State party is invited to submit its next periodic report, which will be its seventh, by 6 December 2021. For that purpose, and in view of the fact that the State party has agreed to report to the Committee under the simplified reporting procedure, the Committee will, in due course, transmit to the State party a list of issues prior to reporting. The State party’s replies to that list of issues will constitute its seventh periodic report under article 19 of the Convention. 13
