CAT/C/BDI/CO/2 Cooperation with United Nations mechanisms 24. The Committee welcomes the decision of the State party to extend a standing invitation to United Nations special procedures mandate holders. However, the Committee notes with regret the delays affecting the submission of initial and periodic reports to the treaty bodies, the excessive amount of time taken by the State party to respond to special procedures requests regarding visits and information on individual cases, and its failure to follow up the recommendations made by the treaty bodies, particularly with regard to individual complaints (arts. 2, 12, 14 and 16). The State party should, among other things, take effective action to submit its periodic reports in a timely manner by setting up a permanent national mechanism tasked with the coordination, submission and follow-up of such reports; act upon the recommendations of the mechanisms of the United Nations; respond in a timely manner to requests by special procedures mandate holders to visit the country; and provide information requested by special procedures and treaty bodies regarding communications and act upon their recommendations. Data collection 25. The Committee notes with regret the absence of comprehensive, disaggregated data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions, convictions and penalties imposed in respect of acts of torture and ill-treatment attributed to State agents or on means of redress provided to victims or their families. In order to evaluate the implementation of the Convention at the national level and assess the extent of the practice of torture and the impact of the measures taken in that regard, the State party should, on a regular basis, collect and publish reliable and up-to-date data, disaggregated by sex, ethnicity, age, location and type of place of deprivation of liberty, on the complaints relating to cases of torture and ill-treatment received during the reporting period, the corresponding investigations, prosecutions, convictions and penal or disciplinary sanctions imposed and any redress and compensation awarded to victims. Other issues 26. The State party is encouraged to ratify, as soon as possible, the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, the two Optional Protocols to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, the Convention on the Non-Applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity, the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the International Criminal Court and the Kampala amendments to the Rome Statute. 27. The State party is requested to ensure the wide dissemination of the report that it has submitted to the Committee and the Committee’s concluding observations, in appropriate languages, through official websites, the media and non-governmental organizations. 28. The Committee thanks the State party for its willingness to continue the dialogue beyond the interactive dialogue and requests it to provide information by 28 November 2015 on the follow-up given to the recommendations contained in paragraphs 11 (a), (b) and (d) and 22 (b). 8 GE.14-24205
