CAT/C/LTU/CO/3 should allocate the necessary resources for the effective implementation of rehabilitation programmes. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to its general comment No. 3 (2012) on the implementation of article 14 by States parties, in which it clarifies the content and scope of the obligation of States parties to provide full redress to victims of torture. Statements made as a result of torture 22. The Committee is concerned at the methods of criminal investigation whereby confession is relied on as the primary and central element of proof in criminal prosecution. It is further concerned that the Code of Criminal Procedure provides for “procedural coercive measures” and that “physical force may be used only to the extent necessary to eliminate prevention of performance of a procedural step”.
