The Committee recommends that further efforts be made to ensure the implementation of the principle of respect for the views of the child. In this connection, particular emphasis should be placed on the right of every child to be heard in the family, at school, within other institutions and bodies, in the community and in society at large, with special attention to vulnerable and minority groups. This right should also be incorporated into all laws, policies and programmes relating to children. 3. Civil rights and freedoms (arts. 7, 8, 13-17, 19 and 37 (a) of the Convention) Birth registration 33. The Committee notes that the State party has achieved close to universal birth registration in most areas, but is concerned at gaps and disparities among the rural population, in particular among the Roma and the internally displaced persons. The Committee is concerned that birth registration procedures are overly complicated and that children are at times not registered due to the lack of identification documents of parents. The Committee is concerned that this may place Roma and internally displaced children in a vulnerable position as undocumented citizens and consequently excluded from access to basic services. 34. In the light of article 7 of the Convention, the Committee urges the State party to continue and strengthen, as a matter of priority, its efforts to establish a system ensuring the registration of all children born within its territory - irrespective of the nationality and status of the parents. The Committee further recommends that the State party take specific steps to remove existing gaps and obstacles to universal civil registration and to ensure registration of the children of Roma and internally displaced persons, in order to enable these groups to exercise the full range of rights recognized in the Convention. Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 35. The Committee welcomes the efforts made to eliminate the identified deficiencies in the care of residents of the special institution for children and juveniles “Dr. Nikola Šumenkovič” in Stamnica. The Committee is still concerned at the reported treatment of children with disabilities in some social care institutions, in which severe and long-term forms of restraint and seclusion have reportedly taken place, and it is concerned that such practices could amount to ill-treatment or even torture. 36. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to put an end to practices against children with disabilities in institutions that could amount to torture or ill-treatment and that increased efforts be made to address the causes to prevent severe and long-term restraint and seclusion. The Committee also recommends that legislative measures be adopted for the full compensation and rehabilitation of children victims of such practices and that training on the human rights of children with disabilities be systematically provided to health and social care professionals.
