The Committee calls upon the State party to investigate these allegations in order to establish responsibilities and ensure compensation to victims. Human rights training of law enforcement personnel 18. While acknowledging the existing training programmes on human rights for law enforcement personnel, the Committee remains concerned that such trainings do not include the prohibition of torture as specific crime of grave nature and do not reach all relevant personnel who are in direct contact with detainees, including police officers, prison staff, judges and, including the military and health personnel.
