CAT/C/TGO/CO/3 issues, including torture prevention, as reported on orally by the delegation of the State party, the Committee regrets that these programmes do not include any specific training or instruction regarding the Convention itself. Furthermore, while it welcomes the information that military doctors receive training that covers forensic examinations, in accordance with the guidelines for the detection of signs of torture and ill-treatment based on the standards set out in the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol), the Committee notes that such training is not offered to all officials likely to interact with persons deprived of liberty (art. 10). 37. The State party should enhance training programmes for officials likely to be involved in monitoring, questioning or handling persons deprived of their liberty (police officers, gendarmes, judges and prison officials) and ensure that these programmes include in-service training covering the provisions of the Convention, non-coercive investigatory techniques and the Istanbul Protocol. The State party should also establish methods for assessing the effectiveness of its training courses. Redress 38. While the Committee welcomes the fact that the State party has granted compensation to victims of torture pursuant to a decision issued by the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States and takes note of the establishment of the High Commission for Reconciliation and Strengthening of National Unity, which, among other things, is responsible for implementation of the reparations programme developed by the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, it is concerned that the Criminal Code, in articles 199, 202 and 204, provides for redress in the form of monetary compensation only and does not contemplate all forms of redress set forth in article 14 of the Convention. The Committee also regrets the lack of statistical data relating to claims for compensation for acts of torture or ill-treatment, successful claims and the rehabilitation measures taken in those cases (art. 14). 39. The Committee recalls its general comment No. 3 (2012) on the implementation of article 14 by States parties and urges the State party to: (a) Take the necessary legislative and administrative measures to ensure that victims of acts of torture and ill-treatment have access to effective remedies and can obtain redress, including in cases where the perpetrator has not been identified; (b) Conduct a comprehensive assessment of victims’ needs and ensure that specialized rehabilitation services are promptly available; (c) Provide the Committee, in its next periodic report, with detailed information on cases where victims of acts of torture and ill-treatment have had access to effective remedies and have obtained redress. Follow-up procedure 40. The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 9 August 2020, information on follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations on the reform of its judicial system, in particular the adoption of the bill on the organization of the judicial system and the Code of Criminal Procedure, the situation of persons in pretrial detention, the issuance of instructions on the absolute prohibition of torture and the closure of the Lomé prison (see paras. 11 (a), 17 (d), 23 (b) and 25 (a) above). In that context, the State party is invited to inform the Committee about its plans for implementing, within the coming reporting period, some or all of the remaining recommendations in the concluding observations. Other issues 41. The Committee invites the State party to consider ratifying the core United Nations human rights instruments to which it is not yet party. 42. The State party is requested to disseminate widely the report submitted to the Committee and the present concluding observations, in appropriate languages, GE.19-14561 9
