A/69/44 The State party should: (a) Allocate the necessary resources to the Sierra Leone Reparations Programme to provide fair and adequate compensation and as full rehabilitation as possible to all the victims of the civil war, and increase its efforts to register victims living in remote areas as beneficiaries; (b) Take the necessary legislative and administrative measures to ensure that victims of torture and ill-treatment are able to effectively and expeditiously claim and receive all forms of redress, including restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition, ensuring that free legal assistance is provided to victims for that purpose; (c) Allocate the necessary resources to set up a rehabilitation programme for victims of torture, including free medical assistance to victims. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to the Committee’s recently adopted general comment No. 3 on the implementation of article 14, which explains and clarifies the content and scope of the obligations of States parties with a view to providing full redress to victims of torture. Corporal punishment (30) While acknowledging that the current Correctional Services Bill includes the prohibition of corporal punishment in prisons and section 33 of the Child Rights Act 2007 prohibits torture and inhuman and degrading treatment of children, the Committee is concerned that corporal punishment has not yet been explicitly prohibited in the Child Rights Act or any other act in force and is culturally entrenched and lawful in all settings, including the home, schools, day care, alternative care settings and in penal institutions (art. 16). The Committee reminds the State party of the commitment it made during the dialogue with the Committee and recommends that it take the necessary legislative measures to explicitly prohibit corporal punishment in all settings, conduct public awareness-raising campaigns about its harmful effects, and promote positive nonviolent forms of discipline as an alternative to corporal punishment. Data collection (31) The Committee regrets the absence of comprehensive and disaggregated data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in cases of torture and ill-treatment perpetrated by law enforcement and prison personnel, as well as on deaths in custody, extrajudicial killings, sexual and gender-based violence, including domestic violence, ritual murders, lynching and criminal conduct related to harmful traditional practices. The State party should compile statistical data relevant to the monitoring of the implementation of the Convention at the national level, including data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in cases of torture and ill-treatment, deaths in custody, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, sexual and genderbased violence, including domestic violence, human trafficking, ritual murders, lynching, criminal conduct related to harmful traditional practices, as well as on means of redress provided to victims, including compensation and rehabilitation, and on refugee and asylum applications, the prevalence of female genital mutilation and the number of persons detained and convicted. Other issues (32) The Committee recommends that the State party ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention. It also recommends that the State party make the declarations provided for in 148 GE.14-12596
