A/68/44 (e) Evacuate Captain Lambert Adjinon, and anyone else with similar health problems, to another country for the necessary medical treatment; (f) Take urgent measures to improve conditions in custody facilities in police stations and gendarmeries, in accordance with international standards; (g) Carry out investigations into deaths in detention and their causes, and provide the Committee with statistical data and information on the preventive measures taken by the prison authorities in the next periodic report; and take measures to reduce violence among prisoners; (h) Establish a central register on all detainees in the country, indicating whether they are remand prisoners or sentenced prisoners, their crime, the date on which they were taken into detention, the place where they are being held, and their age and sex; (i) Ensure that the National Human Rights Commission and human rights organizations have free access to all places of detention, in particular for unannounced visits and private interviews with detainees. National Human Rights Commission and designation of a national preventive mechanism (14) The Committee notes with concern that the budget of the National Human Rights Commission has reportedly decreased by 20 per cent since 2008, preventing it from fully carrying out its functions. While noting the information that the National Intelligence Agency can no longer take in any more people, the Committee is concerned that inspections of the Agency’s premises are no longer possible. While noting that the National Human Rights Commission was to be designated as the national mechanism for the prevention of torture, the Committee is concerned that the mechanism is not yet operational. It is also concerned that the President of the Commission, Mr. Kounté, had to leave the country after publication of the report, following threats made against him in an attempt to make him alter some of the outcomes of the Commission’s investigation (art. 2). The State party should: (a) Provide the National Human Rights Commission with sufficient financial, human and material resources to fully carry out its functions in an independent, impartial and effective manner; (b) Undertake a revision of the organic law on the remit, composition and functioning of the National Human Rights Commission to enable it to serve as the national preventive mechanism in accordance with the requirements of the Optional Protocol to the Convention, including by conducting investigations and preventing acts of torture, as well as by undertaking unannounced visits to all places of detention, including the National Intelligence Agency, and to unofficial facilities and those described as “difficult to access”, as well as to psychiatric institutions and all places where people are deprived of their liberty; (c) Take all necessary measures to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of the members of the national mechanism; (d) Investigate the reasons that led Mr. Kounté to leave the country and take all the protection measures and provide all the guarantees that would allow the safe return to the country of Mr. Kounté and his family should he decide to come back. Violence against women (15) The Committee is concerned by the absence of specific legislation to punish all forms of violence against women, including domestic and sexual violence.
