A/68/44 party to expedite the establishment of an independent national human rights institution in conformity with the Paris Principles. Training (17) While taking note of various human rights training programmes initiated by the State party, the Committee notes with concern that the State party does not provide training on the Convention for all immigration officials and that the Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol) is not incorporated in the training programme. The lack of information on the effectiveness and impact of those training programmes in reducing the number of cases of torture, including gender-based violence and ill-treatment is also a matter of concern (art. 11). The State party should: (a) Further develop and strengthen training programmes to ensure that all officials, in particular judges and law enforcement, prison and immigration officers, are aware of the provisions of the Convention; (b) Provide training on the Istanbul Protocol for medical personnel and other officials involved in the investigation and documentation of cases of torture, on a regular basis; (c) Encourage the involvement of non-governmental organizations in training of law enforcement officials; (d) Assess the effectiveness and impact of training programmes on the prevention and absolute prohibition of torture, including gender-based violence, and ill-treatment. Redress, including compensation and rehabilitation (18) Notwithstanding article 1 of State Redress Act under which victim may seek damages against the State or the public entity, the Committee remains concerned about (a) reports of difficulties faced by victims of acts of torture or ill-treatment in obtaining redress and adequate compensation, (b) restrictions on the right to compensation, such as statutory limitations and reciprocity rules for immigrants, and (c) the lack of information on compensation requested and awarded to victims of torture or ill-treatment (art. 14). Referring to its general comment No. 3 (2012) on article 14 of the Convention which clarifies the content and scope of the obligations of States parties to provide full redress to victims of torture, the Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to ensure that all victims of acts of torture or ill-treatment can fully exercise their right to redress, including fair and adequate compensation, and as full rehabilitation as possible, as well as their right to truth. The State party should provide the Committee with information on (a) redress and compensation measures ordered by the courts and provided to victims of torture or ill-treatment, or their families This information should include the number of requests made and of those granted and the amounts ordered and actually provided in each case; and (b) any ongoing rehabilitation programmes for victims of torture and ill-treatment. The State party should also allocate adequate resources to effectively implement such programmes and inform the Committee thereof. Victims of military sexual slavery (19) Notwithstanding the information provided by the State party concerning some steps taken to acknowledge the abuses against victims of Japan’s military sexual slavery practices during the Second World War, the so-called “comfort women”, the Committee 128 GE.13-46043
