CAT/C/KWT/CO/2 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 on 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) The State party should further develop and strengthen educational trainings and programmes to ensure that all officials, including law enforcement, security and prison officials, are fully aware of the provisions of the Convention, that breaches of the Convention will not be tolerated and will be promptly and effectively investigated, and that offenders will be prosecuted. Furthermore, all relevant personnel, including medical personnel, should receive specific training on how to identify signs of torture and ill-treatment. To this effect, the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol), should be included in the training material. The State party should also develop educational trainings for all officials on human trafficking, domestic violence, migrants, minorities and other vulnerable groups. In addition, the State party should assess the effectiveness and impact of training/educational programmes on the absolute prohibition of torture. Conditions of detention 19. The Committee welcomes that a Bill has been submitted to amend article 60 of the Criminal Law Procedure of 1960 in order to reduce the maximum period of police custody without written order from four days to 48 hours maximum. However, the Committee is seriously concerned at the general conditions of detention in all types of detention facilities (arts.11 and 16). The Committee requests the State party to provide detailed information on general conditions of detention, including the rate of occupancy in all types of detention facilities. The State party should take urgent measures to bring the conditions of detention in all detention facilities into line with the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, improving the food and the health care provided to detainees and strengthening the judicial supervision and independent monitoring of conditions of detention. Conditions in psychiatric hospitals 20. The Committee takes into account the information provided during the dialogue about persons with mental disabilities. The Committee regrets, however, that little information was provided on the conditions and legal safeguards for persons placed in involuntary treatment in psychiatric facilities. (art. 16) The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to ensure that persons in involuntary treatment have access to complaint mechanisms. 5
