The Committee encourages the State party to continue working with the Centre for
Human Rights and Democracy in Central Africa, the subregional bureau of the Office of
the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, in order to implement the
Committee’s recommendations.

The State party should establish effective mechanisms to collect data and generate
criminal and criminology statistics and all statistics relevant to monitoring of the
nationwide implementation of the Convention. The State party should thus provide in its
next periodic report the following data, which will facilitate the Committee’s assessment of
the implementation of its obligations under the Convention:
(a)
Statistics on the capacity and population of every prison in Cameroon,
including data disaggregated by gender and age group (adults/children), and differentiating
between prisoners in pretrial detention and convicts;
(b)
stations;
(c)
(d)
imposed;
(e)
Statistics on violence in detention centres and police and gendarmerie
Statistics on complaints of alleged torture and action taken;
Statistics on corruption among law enforcement officials and penalties
Statistics on cases of extradition, expulsion or refoulement;
(f)
Statistics on violence against women and children and outcomes of
prosecutions initiated.
35.
The State party is encouraged to disseminate widely the reports submitted by
Cameroon and the concluding observations of the Committee in the appropriate languages
and by all appropriate means, including through the media and NGOs.
36.
The Committee invites the State party to update its core document of 19 June 2000
(HRI/CORE/1/Add.109) in accordance with the harmonized guidelines on reporting,
approved recently by the international human rights treaty monitoring bodies
(HRI/GEN/2/Rev.6).
37.
The Committee urges the State party to ratify the International Convention for the
Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, which it signed on 6 February
2007.

The Committee requests the State party to provide it, within one year, with
information on the follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations in paragraphs 14, 18, 19
and 25 above.
