CAT/C/COD/CO/2 the Committee finds it regrettable that there is a lack of training on the content of the Convention, the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol) and Act No. 11/008 (art. 10). 39. The State party should: (a) Provide systematic and regular training on the absolute prohibition on torture and on the provisions of the Convention and Act No. 11/008; (b) Ensure that all relevant actors, including medical personnel, receive specific training on how to identify and document cases of torture and ill-treatment, in accordance with the Istanbul Protocol; (c) Institute regular and mandatory training for police officers, prosecutors, judges and lawyers on sexual and gender-based violence, ex officio prosecution of cases and child protection; (d) Develop and apply a method for evaluating the effectiveness of educational and training programmes relating to the Convention and the Istanbul Protocol; (e) Systematically provide training to all law enforcement officials on the use of force, especially in the context of controlling demonstrations, taking due account of the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials. Redress 40. While taking note of the information provided by the State party concerning certain cases in which victims of sexual violence were provided with psychosocial care and compensation, the Committee remains concerned about the lack of information on the relevant legislative provisions and the inadequacy of the reparation measures ordered in favour of victims of torture and of rehabilitation programmes (art. 14). 41. The Committee, recalling its general comment No. 3 (2012) on the implementation of article 14 by States parties, urges the State party to take all necessary measures to enable victims of acts of torture and ill-treatment, including victims of sexual violence, to exercise their right to redress. The State party should, in particular, take both legislative and administrative measures to: (a) Ensure that victims of acts of torture and ill-treatment have access to effective remedies and redress, including in cases where the perpetrator has not been identified; (b) Fully assess the needs of victims of acts of torture and ensure that compensation funds are operational and that specialized rehabilitation services are readily available. Follow-up procedure 42. The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 17 May 2020, information on follow-up to the Committee’s recommendations contained in paragraphs 13 (c), 25, 33 (a) and (b), and 35 (a) and (c). In that context, the State party is invited to inform the Committee about its plans for implementing, within the coming reporting period, some or all of the remaining recommendations in the concluding observations. Other issues 43. The Committee invites the State party to consider making the declaration under article 22 of the Convention recognizing the competence of the Committee to receive and consider communications from individuals subject to its jurisdiction. 44. The Committee invites the State party to consider ratifying the core United Nations human rights instruments to which it is not yet a party, namely the Second GE.19-08966 9
