practical solutions for this problem, such as, for example, applying different time schedules and using different parts of the facilities, it recalls that, in the context of the prevention of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, women must be separated from men, and juvenile prisoners must be held in facilities completely apart from those for adults. The Committee stresses the importance of having an independent monitoring body equipped with adequate human and financial resources in order to guarantee full compliance with the Convention (art. 16). The State party should ensure that women and men are held in separate facilities and, in particular, that minors are separated from adults. The State party should guarantee that training for prison staff who have to deal with women and minors incorporates gender considerations and the information they need in order to act with sensitivity. It also recommends that the State party strengthen independent procedures for prison inspection. Training (23) The Committee observes that the duration and quality of training for prison staff and police officers remains insufficient to ensure appropriate multidisciplinary instruction in human rights for staff of the justice and police system, particularly officials coming into contact with children and juveniles and with women who are victims of domestic violence. The Committee is also concerned about the inadequacy of personnel training in regard to the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment. The Committee also regrets the scarcity of information provided on the monitoring and evaluation of existing training programmes, as well as the lack of information on the results of the training given to all competent officials and on the usefulness of those programmes in reducing the number of cases of torture and ill-treatment (art. 10). The State party should take the following action: (a) Strengthen appropriate forms of multidisciplinary human rights training, including, in particular, comprehensive information on the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in professional training programmes for police officers and prison staff; (b) Provide all staff members with appropriate special training in the detection of signs of torture and ill-treatment. The Committee recommends that the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol) should form an integral part of doctors’ training; (c) Devise and apply a method for assessing the effectiveness of training and educational programmes, as well as their impact in reducing the number of cases of torture, violence and ill-treatment; (d) Devise and implement specific training on gender issues and ensure that the staff of juvenile centres receive training. Administration of juvenile justice (24) The Committee is concerned by the inadequacy of the human and financial resources devoted to ensuring the proper administration of juvenile justice, including the appropriate implementation of the Code on Children and Young Persons. The Committee is also concerned by the gaps that exist in the areas of defence and prosecution and in the definition and imposition of non-custodial measures or penalties for persons below the age of 18. The Committee also expresses concern over the lack of special correctional centres for persons below the age of 18 in conflict with the law and the poor detention conditions that currently exist, especially on police premises (art. 16). The Committee recommends that the State party should bring its juvenile justice system fully into line with the Convention and other United Nations standards relating to juvenile justice, including the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (the Beijing Rules), the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty and the 112
