(b) The positions occupied by the accused and the units they belong to, as well as details of their suspension from duty during the investigation; (c) The jurisdiction under which investigations were conducted and any penalties or acquittals decided; (d) Reparation made to victims, including compensation and rehabilitation. (25) The Committee recommends that the State party should extensively disseminate, including in the indigenous languages, the reports it submits to the Committee, as well as the Committee’s conclusions and recommendations, through the mass media, official websites and non-governmental organizations. (26) The Committee urges the State party to consider ratifying the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. (27) The Committee requests the State party to inform it within one year of practical steps taken to follow up the recommendations contained in paragraphs 14, 15, 16, 20 and 22. (28) The State party is invited to submit its next periodic report, which will be considered as the sixth periodic report, by 5 August 2009 at the latest, the scheduled date for the presentation of the sixth periodic report. 34. Qatar (1) The Committee considered the initial report of Qatar (CAT/C/58/Add.1) at its 707th and 710th meetings, held on 9 and 10 May 2006 (CAT/C/SR.707 and CAT/C/SR.710), and adopted, at its 722nd meeting on 18 May 2006 (CAT/C/SR.722), the following conclusions and recommendations. A. Introduction (2) The Committee welcomes the initial report of Qatar, as well as the opportunity to initiate a constructive dialogue with the representatives of the State party. It regrets, however, that the report, due on 10 February 2000, was submitted over four years late. It also notes that the report does not fully conform to the Committee’s guidelines for preparation of initial reports and lacks both a core document and information on how the Convention’s provisions are applied in practice in the State party. The initial report limits itself mainly to statutory provisions rather than analysis of implementation supported by examples and statistics. B. Positive aspects (3) The Committee acknowledges the extensive and ongoing efforts of the State party to reform its legal and institutional system, and welcomes the delegation’s affirmation that there is “political will in the State at its highest levels” to promote and protect human rights, particularly those guaranteed in the Convention. (4) The Committee also welcomes the adoption of a new Constitution, which entered into force on 9 June 2005 and includes guarantees of human rights, notably including, in article 36, that no one may be subjected to torture or degrading treatment and that torture is an offence punishable by law. (5) The Committee notes with interest the establishment by Decree No. 38 of 2002 of the National Human Rights Committee, which aims to promote and ensure respect for human rights, to investigate possible violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in order to redress them, and to interact with international and regional organizations concerned with human rights. 54
