The Committee invites the State party to consider becoming a party to the core
United Nations human rights treaties to which it is not yet party, namely, the
International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and
Members of their Families and the International Convention for the Protection of All
Persons from Enforced Disappearance; and to the protocols to the core United
Nations human rights treaties to which it is not yet a party, namely, the Optional
Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Second
Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, aiming
at the abolition of the death penalty; the Optional Protocol to the International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; the Optional Protocol to the
Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communications procedure; the Optional
Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against
Women; and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with

The State party is requested to disseminate widely the report submitted to the
Committee and the present concluding observations, in appropriate languages,
through official websites, the media and non-governmental organizations.

The Committee requests the State party to submit its sixth periodic report by
13 May 2020. For that purpose, and in view of the fact that the State party has agreed
to report to the Committee under the simplified reporting procedure, the Committee
will, in due course, submit to the State party a list of issues prior to reporting.
