CAT/C/BFA/CO/1 The State party should take appropriate measures to put a stop to mob attacks and lynching, by conducting information and education campaigns on the need to eliminate such practices and by prosecuting and punishing any perpetrators. It should furthermore take steps to guarantee the credibility of the judicial system and to develop a community-based justice system. Training 27. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the State party about the talks on the Convention that are held each year for students of the National Police Academy, the National School for Non-Commissioned Officers of the Gendarmerie and the Military Academy and for officers currently working for the criminal investigation service. However, it regrets that no training on the Convention or on the detection of acts of torture is offered to judges, prosecutors or forensic doctors. It notes with interest that a training manual for the police and the gendarmerie has been produced in collaboration with the Danish Institute for Human Rights. However, the Committee regrets that the Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Istanbul Protocol) is not used in the abovementioned training and that the courses have not had any real impact in terms of reducing the incidence of torture in the State party (art. 10). The State party should: (a) Reinforce the training programmes on the Convention that it offers to civilian and military law enforcement officers and extend them to judges, prosecutors, lawyers and medical and prison staff; (b) Include the Istanbul Protocol in these training programmes so that the trainees, particularly medical staff, will be better equipped to detect and document signs of torture and ill-treatment; and (c) Assess the effectiveness of the training courses and their impact on compliance with and the implementation of the Convention, and carry out public awareness campaigns on the prevention and prohibition of torture. Lack of statistical data 28. The Committee regrets the lack of comprehensive and substantiated data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions for acts of torture or ill-treatment inflicted by law enforcement officials, military officers or staff of prisons or psychiatric facilities. It also regrets the lack of comparable data on violence against women, juvenile justice, corporal punishment, and the trafficking of persons, particularly women and children. The State party should compile the above-mentioned data to allow for an effective assessment of the implementation of the Convention at the national level and to help with the identification of targeted measures to prevent and effectively combat torture, ill-treatment and all forms of violence against women and children. It should also provide statistics on redress, including compensation, and on rehabilitation mechanisms for victims. Other issues 29. The Committee encourages the State party to consider making the declarations under articles 21 and 22 of the Convention, thereby recognizing the competence of the Committee to receive and consider inter-State and individual communications. 10 GE.14-40035
