CAT/C/AUT/CO/6 and the content of the juvenile justice reform, which is to be introduced in 2016, the Committee remains concerned at reports that alternatives to the pretrial detention of juveniles are not sufficiently applied in practice (art. 11). 35. The State party should ensure full implementation of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (the Beijing Rules) and the United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (the Riyadh Guidelines). Prompt, thorough and impartial investigations 36. In the light of the information provided by the State party in its periodic report (see CAT/C/AUT/6, paras. 108-109 and 115), the Committee is concerned about the discrepancy between the high number of allegations of torture, ill-treatment and other police misconduct and the extremely low number of prosecutions and convictions for such allegations, as well as the notable absence of disciplinary sanctions handed down during the period under review. It is also concerned about the delegation’s statement that, when no signs of injuries are visible, the investigation procedure is to be suspended. Furthermore, the Committee regrets the lack of information provided on whether the aggravating circumstances outlined in section 33 of the Criminal Code, including racism and xenophobia, have been invoked in the determination of sanctions for cases of torture and ill-treatment during the period under review (arts. 4, 12 and 13). 37. The Committee urges the State party to ensure that all instances and allegations of torture and ill-treatment are investigated promptly, effectively and impartially – independently of the existence of visible signs of torture – and that the perpetrators are prosecuted and convicted in accordance with the gravity of their acts, as required in article 4 of the Convention. Redress 38. While appreciating the information provided by the State party concerning the compensation already awarded to Bakary Jassay (see CAT/C/AUT/6, paras. 145-147), the Committee regrets the limited amount of information available with regard to other reparation and compensation measures ordered by the courts or other State bodies and actually provided to victims of torture and/or ill-treatment since the consideration of the previous periodic report (art. 14). 39. The State party should ensure that all victims of torture and ill-treatment obtain redress, including an enforceable right to fair and adequate compensation and the means for as full rehabilitation as possible. The Committee draws the State party’s attention to its general comment No. 3 (2012) on the implementation of article 14 by States parties, in which it elaborates on the nature and scope of the State parties’ obligations under article 14 of the Convention to provide full redress and the means for full rehabilitation to victims of torture. Restraint measures 40. The Committee is concerned about reports indicating the absence of specific registers for recording the use of restraint measures, including forcible administration of sedative medication, in psychiatric and social welfare institutions (arts. 2 and 16).2 2 See CPT/Inf(2015) 34, para. 124. 7
