CAT/OP/TGO/1 impartially, within a reasonable time frame. Any decisions regarding a complaint should be communicated immediately to its author. The Subcommittee also encourages the competent authorities to establish a register of complaints received, indicating the nature of the complaint, the facility where it originated, the date of receipt, the date and nature of the resulting decision and any measures taken to implement it. Such registers should be regularly reviewed by an independent body. 2. In military camps 89. During the Subcommittee’s visits to the military camps, the conditions of detention were found to be acceptable. Record-keeping was nevertheless inadequate. 90. The Subcommittee noted that there were several types of disciplinary sanctions involving deprivation of liberty within the military system. The Subcommittee also noted that when those sanctions were imposed, the individuals concerned did not necessarily know the duration of the detention, and there was no possibility of an independent inquiry or remedy for consideration of their situation. Moreover, the length of the punishment initially imposed could be extended arbitrarily without any notification to the person concerned. 91. The Subcommittee recommends that the State party set up a system to record sanctions involving deprivation of liberty taken against members of the military and establish an independent, impartial appeals system, allowing for a review of the punishments imposed where necessary. E. Minors in conflict with the law 92. The Subcommittee commends the State party for the recent appointment of six new children’s judges, expanding the national staff of judges for minors to seven. The Subcommittee also welcomes the validation process for the national juvenile justice guidelines, which began in January 2015 and which attests to the will of the State party to carry out practical reforms for the promotion and consolidation of juvenile justice in Togo. 1. Juveniles in conflict with the law in Lomé Structure of the Juvenile Division 93. The Lomé Juvenile Division is a hybrid structure for the custody and the pretrial detention of minors. This body, established under Decree No. 70-55 of 23 February 1970, has been under the control of the Ministry of Justice since the Ministry of Civil Protection was dismantled. It is the only Togolese institution responsible for caring for juveniles in conflict with the law. It has a capacity of 28 places, most of which are filled by children between the ages of 14 and 18 from Lomé, Kpalimé and Tsévié. 94. The Subcommittee questions the appropriateness of the hybrid structure of the Juvenile Division, whose functions — which fall between those of a police station and a prison — do not allow for separate arrangements for minor children being held in custody and children who have been charged with an offence. 95. The Subcommittee invites the State party to: (a) Reconsider the current structure of the Juvenile Division so as to separate the functions of the criminal police from those of pretrial detention; (b) Establish, bearing in mind such restructuring, additional juvenile divisions, as recommended by the Committee on the Rights of the Child in its concluding observations of 2012 (see CRC/C/TGO/CO/3-4, para. 76). Length of custody and pretrial detention 96. During its visit to the Juvenile Division, the Subcommittee met 18 children. On consulting the registers, it found that four of the children in pretrial detention had been detained for 1 to 4 months. The 14 other children had been sent there by judges under GE.17-06858 13
