CAT/C/ALB/CO/2 that would consider marital rape and domestic violence as specific penal offences. The Committee is also particularly concerned by the high incidence of violence against children in the family and schools, and the public acceptance of corporal punishment of children (arts. 2 and 16). The Committee urges the State party to: (a) Prepare and adopt, as a matter of priority, a comprehensive legislation on violence against women that would establish marital rape and domestic violence as specific penal offences; (b) Adopt the new draft law against violence against children at schools, prohibit corporal punishment in all settings, including home and alternative care settings and hold the perpetrators of such acts accountable; (c) Take measures at all levels of the government to ensure public awareness of the prohibition and harm of violence against children and women in all sectors.

The Committee notes the State party’s information about the legislative amendments to the Criminal Code to deal with trafficking in persons (articles 110/a, 114/b, and 128/b), activities of the National Coordinator against the Trafficking of Persons and the adoption of ‘Action Standard Procedures for Identification and Reference of Potential Victims of Trafficking’ of 27 July 2011. However, it expresses serious concern at the absence of data on the measures to prevent acts of trafficking and on prosecutions and types of sentences handed down for such acts (arts. 2, 3, 12, 13, 14 and 16).
