CAT/C/SLE/CO/1 Redress and rehabilitation for victims of torture 29. While noting the establishment in 2008 of the Sierra Leone Reparations Programme for victims of the civil war, the Committee is concerned at the limited scope of the reparations, the financial constraints of the National Trust Fund for Victims and the large number of victims that have allegedly not been registered as beneficiaries. The Committee also notes that, under criminal and civil proceedings, victims of crimes may obtain compensation and restitution for the harm suffered, but there are no rehabilitation measures, including medical treatment and social rehabilitation services, for victims of torture or illtreatment. The Committee expresses concern at the lack of information on cases in which the State party has been liable for compensation in relation to damages caused by its agents in connection with torture and ill-treatment (arts. 2 and 14). The State party should: (a) Allocate the necessary resources to the Sierra Leone Reparations Programme to provide fair and adequate compensation and as full rehabilitation as possible to all the victims of the civil war, and increase its efforts to register victims living in remote areas as beneficiaries; (b) Take the necessary legislative and administrative measures to ensure that victims of torture and ill-treatment are able to effectively and expeditiously claim and receive all forms of redress, including restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition, ensuring that free legal assistance is provided to victims for that purpose; (c) Allocate the necessary resources to set up a rehabilitation programme for victims of torture, including free medical assistance to victims. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to the Committee��s recently adopted general comment No. 3 on the implementation of article 14, which explains and clarifies the content and scope of the obligations of States parties with a view to providing full redress to victims of torture. Corporal punishment 30. While acknowledging that the current Correctional Services Bill includes the prohibition of corporal punishment in prisons and section 33 of the Child Rights Act 2007 prohibits torture and inhuman and degrading treatment of children, the Committee is concerned that corporal punishment has not yet been explicitly prohibited in the Child Rights Act or any other act in force and is culturally entrenched and lawful in all settings, including the home, schools, day care, alternative care settings and in penal institutions (art. 16). The Committee reminds the State party of the commitment it made during the dialogue with the Committee and recommends that it take the necessary legislative measures to explicitly prohibit corporal punishment in all settings, conduct public awareness-raising campaigns about its harmful effects, and promote positive nonviolent forms of discipline as an alternative to corporal punishment. Data collection 31. The Committee regrets the absence of comprehensive and disaggregated data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in cases of torture and ill-treatment perpetrated by law enforcement and prison personnel, as well as on deaths in custody, extrajudicial killings, sexual and gender-based violence, including domestic violence, ritual murders, lynching and criminal conduct related to harmful traditional practices. 13
