Follow-up procedure

The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 12 May 2018,
information on follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations on prosecutions of
police officers found guilty of acts of torture, the establishment and operation of
effective police oversight bodies and measures to ensure that all allegations of torture
or ill-treatment are promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigated by a fully
independent civilian body (see paras. 7 (c), 9 (c) and 11 (a)). 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.

The State party is requested to make publicly available and disseminate widely
the report submitted to the Committee, the summary records of the dialogue and the
present concluding observations, in appropriate languages, through official websites,
the media and non-governmental organizations.

The Committee invites the State party to submit its next periodic report, which
will be its second periodic report, by 12 May 2021. To that end, the Committee invites
the State party to agree, by 12 May 2018, to follow the optional reporting procedure in

will constitute its second periodic report under article 19 of the Convention. The State
party is also invited to submit its common core document in accordance with the
