CAT/C/TLS/CO/1 line with the commitment made by Timor-Leste during the universal periodic review in November 2017 (see A/HRC/34/11/Add.1, para. 5). Redress 36. The Committee notes with concern the lack of a legal framework for the provision of redress to victims of torture and ill-treatment. In addition, it regrets that the State party did not provide information on redress and compensation measures ordered by the courts or other State bodies and actually provided to the victims of torture or ill-treatment or their families since the entry into force of the Convention in the State party. The Committee also regrets that the State party has presented no information on redress programmes or measures taken to support and facilitate the work of non-governmental organizations that seek to provide rehabilitation to victims of torture and ill-treatment (art. 14). 37. The State party should take all necessary legislative and practical measures to 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 their obligations under the Convention to provide full redress to victims of torture. Coerced confessions 38. While taking note of the guarantees set forth in article 34 (4) of the Constitution and article 110 (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the inadmissibility of evidence obtained, inter alia, through torture, coercion or infringement of the physical or moral integrity of the individual, the Committee regrets that the State party has not provided it with examples of cases dismissed by the courts because of the submission of evidence or testimony obtained by means of torture or ill-treatment (art. 15). 39. The State party should take effective steps to ensure in practice that confessions obtained under torture or ill-treatment are ruled inadmissible. It should also expand vocational training programmes for both judges and prosecutors so as to ensure their ability to effectively identify torture and ill-treatment and investigate all allegations of such acts. The State party should also provide the Committee with information on any cases in which confessions were deemed inadmissible on the grounds that they were obtained through torture and indicate whether any officials have been prosecuted and punished for extracting such confessions. Corporal punishment 40. While noting that the Ministry of Education has adopted a zero-tolerance policy on violence against children in educational settings, the Committee is concerned by the fact that corporal punishment of children in the home, school and alternative care and day-care settings is not yet explicitly prohibited under national law and that it remains widespread (arts. 2 and 16). 41. The State party should amend and/or enact legislation so as to explicitly and clearly prohibit corporal punishment in all settings and take the measures necessary to prevent such punishment, including through strict enforcement of the Ministry of Education’s guidelines on classroom discipline. It should encourage non-violent forms of discipline as alternatives to corporal punishment and conduct public information campaigns to raise awareness about the harmful effects of such punishment. Persons with mental disabilities 42. The Committee is concerned about the limited availability of psychiatric services for persons with mental disabilities in the State party, resulting in a situation in which they are forced to stay with their families, and at reliable reports suggesting that there are many cases of persons with mental disabilities in the State party being subjected to ill-treatment by family or community members, including being confined and restrained by force in degrading conditions. 10
