The creation of a similar office within the security forces should be considered; (h) Since most allegations of Berious human rights violations were attributed to members of paramilitary groups or death-squads, effective measures should be taken with a view to investigating the identity and membership of such groupB and, eventually, dismantling them and bringing those responsible for serious human rights violations to trial; (i) The Office of the Procurator for Human Rights should be easily accessible to all citizens and be provided with the funds necessary for the effective exercise of its task; (j) Speedy ratification of the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment of 1984 and of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights would be a meaningful contribution to the prevention and suppression of torture.
