CRC/C/15/Add.142 page 9 44. In light of article 28 of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party undertake appropriate measures to ensure regular attendance at schools and the reduction of drop-out, including by continuing the “School is waiting for you” campaign carried out by the National Centre for Protection of Children’s Rights to inform society of the need to ensure that all children attend primary school, and to assist local governments in their work to implement regulations on registration of children. Further, it encourages the State party to undertake measures to facilitate the regular attendance at school of children from poor and/or dysfunctional families. 7. Special protection measures Administration of juvenile justice 45. The Committee is concerned that the juvenile justice system is not fully in compliance with the Convention and that the justice system as a whole is not efficient. In particular, it expresses its concern at reports of juvenile offenders spending long periods in pre-trial detention because the justice system is overloaded. Further, it expresses its concern at cases of juvenile offenders kept in adult prison facilities and that there are no programmes for their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. 46. The Committee recommends that the State party review its law and practices regarding the juvenile justice system in order to bring it into full compliance with the Convention, in particular articles 37, 40 and 39, as well as with other relevant international standards in this area, such as the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (the Beijing Rules) and the United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (the Riyadh Guidelines), with a view to ensuring child-friendly practices by the police and other levels of the juvenile justice system and the separation of juvenile and adult offenders in prison. In particular, it reminds the State party that juvenile offenders should be dealt with without delay and that pre-trial detention should not be longer than the period prescribed by law and should be used only as a measure of last resort. Alternative measures to detention should be used whenever possible. The Committee recommends that the State party incorporate into its legislation and practices the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of Their Liberty, in particular to guarantee them access to effective complaints procedures covering all aspects of their treatment, and take appropriate rehabilitative measures to promote the social reintegration of the children involved in the juvenile justice system. Finally, the Committee recommends that the State party seek assistance from, among others, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the United Nations Centre for International Crime Prevention, the International Network on Juvenile Justice and UNICEF, through the United Nations Coordination Panel on Technical Advice and Assistance on Juvenile Justice. Sexual exploitation and trafficking 47. The Committee notes with concern that prostitution is rapidly spreading among minors and that the only rehabilitation programmes available are short term.
