CAT/C/UKR/CO/6 any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture”. It draws the attention of the State party to paragraph 5 of its general comment No. 2, in which it states that those “exceptional circumstances” include “any threat of terrorist acts or violent crime as well as armed conflict, international or non-international”. Accordingly, the State party should: (a) Document and undertake prompt, thorough and impartial investigations into all acts of torture or other ill-treatment, including enforced disappearances and deprivation of life, committed on any territory under its jurisdiction; keep thorough documentation on the victims of inhuman treatment in areas not under governmental control, on the type of violations of the Convention against them and the damage inflicted, as well as the identity, if possible, of the alleged perpetrators, so that the State party can fully exercise its duties under the Convention when effective control is re-established and ensure that those found responsible are prosecuted and held accountable; (b) Ensure that the alleged perpetrators are duly prosecuted, including persons in positions of command and those who provided legal cover for torture, and if found guilty, are punished with penalties commensurate with the grave nature of their act; (c) Provide redress and rehabilitation to the victims, in accordance with the Committee’s general comment No. 3 (2012) on the implementation of article 14 of the Convention by States parties. Administrative detention 12. The Committee is concerned about the continued use of administrative detention for different purposes of criminal investigation under the Law on Administrative Offences, in the course of which the detainee is deprived of procedural guarantees, such as the right to appeal against such deprivation of liberty (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 11). The State party should ensure that resort to, and the duration of, administrative detention are reduced and that guarantees exist regarding all fundamental procedural safeguards. System of juvenile justice 13. The Committee is concerned at the reports concerning the absence of a system of juvenile justice in the State party (art. 2). The State party should establish a system of juvenile justice which promotes, whenever possible, alternative measures to deprivation of liberty and guarantees international standards, including the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (Beijing Rules), the United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (Riyadh Guidelines), the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty (Havana Rules), and the Guidelines for Action on Children in the Criminal Justice System. Domestic violence 14. While welcoming the steps taken by the State party, such as the adoption of the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act (2001) and the “Stop violence!” campaign, the Committee is concerned at the persistently high rate of domestic violence. It is also concerned about the absence of an appropriate normative framework to fight domestic violence effectively and the lack of availability of remedies for the victims (arts. 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16). 5
