(c)
Ensure that all relevant staff, including medical personnel, are
specifically trained to identify cases of torture and ill-treatment, in accordance with
the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other
Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol).
Follow-up procedure
54.
The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 7 December 2019,
information on follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations on diplomatic
assurances; adequate redress for the torture and ill-treatment of Canadians detained
abroad; security certificates; and involuntary sterilization of indigenous women (see
paras. 29, 39, 47 (c) and 51 (a) above). In that 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
55.
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, and to
inform the Committee about its disseminating activities.
56.
The Committee requests the State party to submit its next periodic report,
which will be its eighth, by 7 December 2022. 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 eighth periodic report under article 19 of the Convention.
