A/HRC/16/52/Add.5 4. Women 84. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government establish a comprehensive legal framework addressing all forms of violence against women and ensure its implementation, in line with the concluding observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. 5. Death penalty 85. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government abolish the death penalty and ratify the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, aiming at the abolition of the death penalty. 86. The Special Rapporteur recommends that OHCHR, with the agreement of the Government of Papua New Guinea, establish a country presence with a mandate for monitoring the human rights situation in the country, including the right of unimpeded access to all places of detention, and for providing technical assistance particularly in the field of judicial, police and prison reform. 87. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that relevant United Nations bodies, donor Governments and development agencies consider the protection of human rights in the criminal justice system, and in particular the prevention of torture, as their highest priority. Specific programmes and projects should be carried out only after the political will to implement far-reaching structural reforms aimed at the prevention of torture is clearly demonstrated. 19
