Trafficking in persons 43. While valuing the efforts by the State party to combat trafficking in persons during the period under review, the Committee remains concerned by reports that law enforcement officers are not adequately trained in identifying victims of trafficking, and also by reports of delays in the issuance of temporary residence permits for victims (arts. 2 and 16). 44. The State party should: (a) Intensify its efforts to prevent and combat trafficking in persons, including by putting in place effective procedures for the identification and referral of victims among vulnerable groups, such as asylum seekers and irregular migrants; (b) Improve the training of law enforcement officers and other first respondents by including statutory training on the identification of potential victims of trafficking in persons; (c) Ensure access to adequate protection and support, including temporary residence permits, for all victims of trafficking, irrespective of their ability to cooperate in legal proceedings against traffickers. Training 45. While acknowledging the efforts made by the State party to develop and implement human rights training programmes for law enforcement officials, military personnel, judges and prosecutors, which include modules on the use of coercive measures in prison, the prohibition of discriminatory practices, domestic violence and trafficking in persons, the Committee is concerned by the absence of specific training on the content of the Convention, and the lack of information on evaluations of the impact of those programmes. The Committee also takes note of the training on the identification of victims of torture or ill-treatment provided to prison health professionals by the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences (art. 10). 46. The State party should: (a) Further develop mandatory initial and in-service training programmes to ensure that all public officials are well acquainted with the provisions of the Convention, especially the absolute prohibition of torture, and that they are fully aware that violations will not be tolerated and will be investigated and that those responsible will be prosecuted and, on conviction, appropriately punished; (b) Continue to 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 (the Istanbul Protocol); (c) Develop a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of training programmes in reducing the number of cases of torture and ill-treatment and in 9
