CAT/C/PRY/CO/4-6 Protection of indigenous peoples 27. The Committee takes note of the measures already taken by the State party to comply with the judgements and decisions handed down within the Inter-American human rights system on the protection of indigenous peoples in the territory of the State party. The Committee also takes note of the measures taken in collaboration with the International Labour Organization to combat the exploitation of indigenous peoples for their labour. However, the Committee is concerned by reports of the persistence of such exploitation of members of the indigenous peoples living in Paraguay, which is equivalent to inhuman treatment in violation of the Convention (art. 16). The Committee recommends that the State party take all measures necessary to eliminate all forms of exploitation of members of indigenous peoples for their labour. The State party should also, within a reasonable time frame, fully comply with the judgements of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that obligate it to adopt measures to protect indigenous peoples. 28. The State party is urged to ensure wide circulation of the report submitted to the Committee and of the Committee’s concluding observations through official websites, the media and non-governmental organizations. 29. The Committee requests the State party to provide information, by 25 November 2012, on the follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations on: (a) access to and strengthening of the legal safeguards for detained persons; (b) the conduct of prompt, impartial and effective investigations; and (c) the prosecution of those suspected of committing acts of torture and other forms of ill-treatment and the punishment of those responsible for such acts, as set forth in paragraphs 11 and 18 of the present document. The Committee also requests information on follow-up to the recommendations presented in paragraph 23 of the present document regarding measures to be taken to prevent, combat and eradicate trafficking in persons. 30. The State party is invited to submit its seventh periodic report at the latest by 25 November 2015. In that regard, the Committee will, since the State party has agreed to submit its reports under the optional reporting procedure, send the State party, in due course, a list of issues prior to the submission of the report.
