Data collection
48.
The Committee regrets the absence of comprehensive and disaggregated data on
complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions of cases of torture and illtreatment by law enforcement, security and prison personnel, including in detention
facilities. The Committee also notes that the State party, through the Independent Police
Complaints Authority, intends to collect data on complaints against the Police (arts. 2, 12,
13, 14 and 16).
49.
The State party should compile statistical data relevant to the monitoring of the
implementation of the Convention at the national level, including data on complaints,
investigations, prosecutions and convictions of cases of torture and ill-treatment, in
particular in detention facilities, as well as on means of redress, including
compensation and rehabilitation, provided to the victims.
Follow-up procedure
50.
The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 9 December 2016,
follow-up information in response to the Committee’s recommendations relating to:
the incorporation of the Convention in domestic law; the deportation of vulnerable
individuals; the screening of and assistance to asylum seekers who are victims of
torture; and separation of convicts and remand prisoners, as contained in paragraphs
13, 21, 23 and 37, respectively, of the present document.
Other issues

The Committee invites the State party to consider ratifying the core United
Nations human rights treaties to which it is not yet party, namely the International
Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of
Their Families, the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Convention for the Protection of All
Persons against Enforced Disappearance.
52.
The State party is requested to disseminate widely the report submitted to the
Committee and the Committee’s concluding observations in appropriate languages
through official websites, the media and non-governmental organizations.
53.
The State party is invited to submit its next report, which will be the eighth
periodic report, by 9 December 2019. For that purpose, the Committee will, in due
course, submit to the State party a list of issues prior to reporting, considering that the
