A/68/44 an important contribution to the work of the National Observatory of Places of Detention. Training (25) The Committee notes that the State party has organized human rights training courses for police officers and members of the National Gendarmerie. However, it regrets the lack of information on the evaluation of these courses and their impact on reducing the number of cases of torture and ill-treatment. The Committee is also concerned that the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol) is not followed (art. 10). The State party should organize training courses for the State agents listed in article 10 of the Convention, especially civil or military law-enforcement personnel and medical personnel. In order to enable these individuals to better detect and document the signs of torture and ill-treatment, the Istanbul Protocol should be an integral part of these courses. The State party should also evaluate the courses’ effectiveness and impact on the implementation of the Convention. Data collection (26) The Committee regrets the lack of comprehensive, disaggregated data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in cases of torture and ill-treatment committed by law-enforcement personnel, military officers, prison staff and psychiatric personnel, and of statistics on the various forms of violence against girls and women in Senegal. The State party should compile the above-mentioned data for the whole country to allow the implementation of the Convention to be effectively evaluated and to facilitate the identification of targeted action to prevent and combat effectively torture, ill-treatment and all forms of violence against girls and women. The State party should also provide statistics on redress, including compensation, and means of rehabilitation for victims. (27) The State party is requested to disseminate widely the report submitted to the Committee and the Committee’s concluding observations, in the appropriate languages, through official websites, the media and non-governmental organizations. (28) The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 23 November 2013, information on the follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations on: (a) the introduction or strengthening of legal safeguards for detainees (see paragraph 10 (a) above); (b) the prompt instigation of effective and impartial investigations (see paragraph 11 (a) above); and (c) the proceedings initiated against suspects and the penalties handed down to the perpetrators of acts of torture or ill-treatment (see paragraph 12 above). (29) The State party is invited to submit its fourth periodic report by 23 November 2016. The Committee invites the State party to agree, by 23 November 2013, to follow the optional reporting procedure in preparing its report. Under this procedure, the Committee would send the State party a list of issues prior to submission of the periodic report and the State party’s replies to the list of issues would constitute, under article 19 of the Convention, its next periodic report. 66.
