CAT/C/NPL/CO/2 page 9 Therefore, the State party should: (a) Make available to victims of torture the conclusions of any independent inquiry in order to assist them in pursuing compensation claims. The State party should amend its current and planned legislation so that there is no statute of limitation for registering complaints against acts of torture and that actions for compensation can be brought within two years from the date that the conclusions of inquiries become available; (b) Consider adopting legislative and administrative measures for witness protection, ensuring that all persons who report acts of torture or ill-treatment are adequately protected. Compensation to torture victims 29. While acknowledging that the judiciary has issued a number of decisions to award compensation, the Committee regrets that to date in only one case has compensation been paid. In addition, the Committee is concerned about undue delays in the awarding of compensation ordered by the courts or the National Human Rights Commission (art. 14). The State party should ensure that compensation awarded by the courts or decided upon by the National Human Rights Commission is paid in a timely manner. The State party should provide to the Committee information on the total amount paid in compensations to victims of torture. Use of statements made as a result of torture 30. The Committee is concerned about allegations of statements obtained as a result of torture being used as evidence in legal proceedings (art. 15). The State party should provide to the Committee information on both legislation and jurisprudence that exclude statements obtained as a result of torture being admitted as evidence. Ill-treatment 31. The Committee is concerned about allegations of poor conditions of detention, in particular overcrowding, poor sanitation, staffing shortages and lack of medical attention for detainees (art. 16). The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to improve conditions of detention. Trafficking 32. The Committee is concerned about persistent reports of trafficking in women and children and the alleged involvement of officials in acts of trafficking.
