Compliance of national laws, policies and institutions Administration of justice A number of countries made progress in terms of the drafting, review and adoption of legislation or policies to enable the judiciary to hand down decisions in compliance with human rights standards. For instance, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Justice Reform Plan was approved, in May, which included several recommendations issued by UN Human Rights, such as the reinforcement of international judicial cooperation, the adoption of a national prosecution strategy for international crimes, the abolition of the death penalty and the adoption of a law on the protection of witnesses and victims. The corresponding action plan is expected to be finalized in 2018. In Guinea, the Military Justice Code, first adopted in 2013, was revised in 2017 to take into account the fundamental principles of criminal law, such as the principle of dual jurisdiction. In Kyrgyzstan, a number of changes were introduced to the draft Criminal Procedure Code, adopted in February, to align it with international human rights standards. In Tunisia, a practical guide was launched on the justiciability of economic, social and cultural rights, which addresses the modalities of litigation of these rights in the country, in accordance with relevant international standards. With regard to the functioning of judicial institutions, the Special Criminal Court in the Central African Republic appointed magistrates to lead investigation and prosecution activities and develop strategies for prosecution and the protection of witnesses and victims. Furthermore, the mapping report issued by UN Human Rights, which documented 620 cases of serious violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law that were committed between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2015, proposed priority areas for future investigations by the Special Criminal Court.
