A/69/44 torture and ill-treatment to fair and adequate compensation, including the means for as full rehabilitation as possible, as required by article 14 of the Convention (art. 14). The State party should amend its legislation to include explicit provisions on the right of victims of torture and ill-treatment to redress, including fair and adequate compensation and rehabilitation, in accordance with article 14 of the Convention. It should, in practice, provide all victims of torture or ill-treatment with redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible, and 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” (arts. 2, 15 and 16). The State party should: (a) Take the steps necessary to ensure in practice that confessions obtained as a result of torture and ill-treatment, in all cases and in line with domestic legislation and the provisions of article 15 of the Convention, are not admissible in court; (b) Improve the methods of criminal investigation to end practices whereby confession is relied on as the primary and central element of proof in criminal prosecution, in some cases in the absence of any other evidence; (c) Submit information on the application of the provisions prohibiting the admissibility of evidence obtained under duress and on whether any officials have been prosecuted and punished for extracting such confessions. Involuntary hospitalization and involuntary medical treatment (23) While taking note that a working group is in the process of drafting amendments to the Law on Mental Health Care, the Committee is concerned at the absence of legal safeguards concerning involuntary civil hospitalization and involuntary medical treatment of persons with mental and psychosocial disabilities in psychiatric institutions. It is also concerned that courts have only 48 hours to reach decisions on hospitalization (arts. 2, 11 and 16). The State party should: (a) Ensure that the amended Law on Mental Health Care provides guarantees for effective legal safeguards for all persons with mental and psychosocial disabilities concerning civil involuntary hospitalization as well as concerning involuntary psychiatric and medical treatment in psychiatric institutions; (b) Review the legal status of patients and ensure that patients’ consent is requested both with regard to hospitalization and in relation to psychiatric medical treatment, and that they are allowed to avail themselves of the right to appeal against the decision; GE.14-12596 127
