CAT/C/CYP/CO/4 empowered to grant redress to the relatives of the missing persons. While welcoming the fact that the Attorney General has opened some criminal investigations as a result of the successful identification by CMP of the remains, some relatives of missing persons have not been given the opportunity to challenge the acts or omissions of the investigating authorities in court (arts. 2 and 14). The State party should redouble its efforts to guarantee that the relatives of missing persons identified by CMP receive appropriate redress, including the means for their psychological rehabilitation, compensation, satisfaction and for the implementation of the right to truth. As stated in paragraph 17 of the Committee’s general comment No. 3 (2012) on article 14 of the Convention, a State’s failure to investigate, criminally prosecute, or to allow civil proceedings related to allegations of acts of torture in a prompt manner, may constitute a de facto denial of redress and thus constitute a violation of the State’s obligations under article 14. Additionally, the Committee recalls that judicial remedies must always be available to victims, as should all evidence concerning acts of torture or ill-treatment upon the request of victims, their legal counsel, or a judge (general comment No. 3, para. 30). Redress, including compensation and rehabilitation 22. The Committee takes note of the information mentioned in the State report (CAT/C/CYP/4, para. 123) that only two cases concerning torture and ill-treatment were upheld by the Supreme Court, and regrets the lack of information on redress and compensation measures awarded by the courts of the State party to the two victims of those cases (art. 14). The Committee draws the attention of the State party to general comment No. 3 (2012), in which the Committee explains the content and scope of the obligation of States parties to provide full redress to victims of torture. The State party should: (a) Review the existing procedures for seeking reparation in order to ensure that they are accessible to all victims of torture and ill-treatment; (b) Ensure full compliance with article 14 of the Convention, as interpreted in general comment No. 3 (2012), and provide the Committee with information on redress and compensation ordered by courts and ongoing rehabilitation, including resources allocated for that purpose. Data collection 23. The Committee regrets the absence of comprehensive and disaggregated data on complaints of, investigations into, and prosecutions and convictions for torture and illtreatment by law-enforcement, security, military and prison personnel, at the criminal and disciplinary levels, as well as on deaths in custody, crimes involving trafficking, and domestic and sexual violence. The State party should compile statistical data relevant to the monitoring of the implementation of the Convention at the national level, including data, at the criminal and disciplinary levels, on complaints of, investigations into and prosecutions and convictions for torture and ill-treatment, deaths in custody, trafficking and domestic and sexual violence, as well as on the means of redress, including compensation and rehabilitation, provided to the victims. 10
