A/66/44 particular, those submitted by asylum-seekers who had been tortured or might be tortured if returned to their country of origin (art. 3). Under no circumstances should the State party expel, return or extradite a person to a State where there are substantial grounds for believing that he or she would be in danger of being subjected to torture or ill-treatment. The Committee requests the State party to provide information, in detail, on the precise number of asylum applications received, the number of successful asylum applications, the number of asylum-seekers whose applications were accepted because they had been tortured or might be tortured if returned to their country of origin and the number of deportations with an indication of (a) the number of deportations relating to asylumseekers, and (b) the countries to which deportations have been carried out. The data should be disaggregated by age, sex and nationality. Refugees (16) The Committee notes that despite the existing cooperation with UNHCR, the State party has not yet ratified the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. The State party is encouraged to consider becoming a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol. Imposition of the death penalty (17) While noting the information provided by the delegation that the death penalty has not been applied in the State party since 2006, the Committee is concerned at the lack of information provided on the number of persons executed before 2006. It is also concerned at the wide number of offences for which death penalty is imposed, as well as the lack of information on the number of persons currently on death row. The Committee is further concerned at the provisions of article 49 of the Code of Criminal Procedure which allows for the use of excessive force on death row detainees (arts. 2 and 16). The Committee recommends that the State party consider ratifying the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, aiming at the abolition of the death penalty. In the meantime, the State party should review its policy with a view to restricting to the most serious crimes the imposition of the death penalty. The State party should ensure that all persons on death row are afforded the protection provided by the Convention against Torture and treated humanely and that no discriminatory measures and ill-treatment are applied to these persons. The Committee requests the State party to provide information on the precise number of persons executed since the consideration of the previous report in 1998 and for which offences. The State party should also indicate the current number of persons on death row, disaggregated by sex, age, ethnicity and offence. Training (18) The Committee notes with appreciation that the State party organized several trainings of law enforcement officials on human rights. However, the Committee is concerned at the lack of specific training of law enforcement officials, security personnel, judges, prosecutors, forensic doctors and medical personnel dealing with detained persons, on the provisions of the Convention and on how to detect and document physical and psychological sequelae of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The Committee also regrets the lack of information on trainings on human trafficking, domestic violence, migrants, minorities and other vulnerable groups, as well as on monitoring and evaluation of the impact of any of its training programmes in reducing incidents of torture and ill-treatment (art. 10).
