In light of its tardy submission of the initial report, and in order to ensure proper
implementation of the Committee’s recommendations, the State party is requested to
disseminate the report widely, along with the present concluding observations, in the
appropriate languages, through official websites, the media and non-governmental
organizations. The State party should also work vigorously with the civil society to launch
university programmes providing awareness and training to law enforcement agents with
respect to the Committee’s recommendations.

The Committee requests the State party to submit, by 23 May 2015, information on
the follow-up given to the following recommendations: (a) introduce or strengthen legal
safeguards for persons held in custody; (b) conduct prompt, effective and impartial
investigations; and (c) prosecute suspects and impose penalties on the perpetrators of
torture or ill-treatment (see paragraphs 9, 10, 12 and 13 above). The Committee further
requests additional information on the violence against girls and women mentioned in
paragraphs 16 and 17, along with any pertinent statistical data.
32.
The Committee invites the State party to submit its next periodic report, which will
be its second, by 23 May 2018. The Committee also invites the State party to agree, by 23
May 2015, to submit that report under the optional procedure whereby the Committee sends
the State party a list of issues prior to submission of its periodic report. The replies of the
State party to this list of issues will constitute its second periodic report under article 19 of
the Convention.
