However, the Committee regrets the absence of comprehensive and disaggregated data on
complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions of cases of torture and illtreatment by law enforcement, security, military and prison personnel, as well as on honour
crimes, domestic and sexual violence, enforced disappearances, and on means of redress,
including compensation and rehabilitation provided to the victims (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 16).
The Committee recommends that the State party compile statistical data relevant to
the monitoring of the implementation of the Convention at the national level,
including data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions of cases of
torture and ill-treatment by law enforcement, security, military and prison personnel,
as well as on honour crimes, domestic and sexual violence, enforced disappearances,
and on means of redress, including compensation and rehabilitation provided to the
victims.

envisaged under articles 21 and 22 of the Convention, in order to recognize the competence
of the Committee to receive and consider inter-State and individual communications, as
indicated by the delegation.

treaties to which it is not yet a party, namely the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
