CRC/C/15/Add.233 page 3 8. The Committee recommends that the State party develop and implement a comprehensive legislative policy to integrate in domestic laws the provisions and principles of the Convention. It further recommends that the State party expedite the promulgation of a comprehensive code for children through a participatory process that includes the civil society, in particular children. Coordination 9. The Committee notes the creation in 1997 of the Ministry of Youth, Women, Children and Family Affairs responsible, inter alia, for the coordination of policies, plans and programmes for children. However, the Committee is concerned that the heterogeneity of the many institutions and the weak coordination between economic and social policies seriously hamper effective implementation of the Convention (CRC/C/70/Add.20, see paras. 57-59). 10. The Committee recommends that the State party undertake all necessary measures to strengthen the Ministry of Youth, Women, Children and Family Affairs in order that it can play its role as an effective mechanism of coordination of all policies, plans and programmes for the implementation of the Convention. National Plan of Action 11. The Committee welcomes the launching of the National Plan of Action in November 2003 and the establishment of the National Council for Children and Adolescent Rights, but is concerned about the lack of a comprehensive national policy to promote and protect the rights of the child. 12. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures, inter alia, by providing adequate human, financial and other resources, for the full implementation of the National Plan of Action and ensure that the National Council performs its role, in particular with regard to the implementation of the Convention, in the most effective and efficient manner. It also recommends the adoption of a comprehensive national policy to promote and protect the rights of the child. Independent monitoring 13. The Committee notes the fact that children can file individual complaints about a possible violation of their rights with the National Council for Children and Adolescent Rights or the Children’s Delegate in the Ombudsperson’s Office or the Ministry of Youth, Women, Children and Family Affairs. But the Committee is concerned at the lack of coordination between these bodies, the limited access of children and their families to this service and the effectiveness of these complaint procedures. In addition, the Committee is concerned about the lack of clarity concerning the monitoring role of each of these bodies. 14. The Committee recommends that the State party establish a single independent and effective mechanism for the monitoring of the implementation of the Convention; this mechanism could be the Children’s Delegate with an adequate number of local branches. This mechanism should be provided with adequate human and financial resources and easily accessible to children. It should monitor the implementation of the Convention, deal
