CRC/C/15/Add.173 page 4 (c) Incorporate the current concluding observations of the Committee in the national and regional plans of action for children. Monitoring 12. The Committee, while acknowledging that the Presidential Advisory Council de facto receives and handles individual complaints concerning violations of human rights, expresses its concern that an overall national mechanism with the mandate for continuing supervision and evaluation throughout the country of the implementation of the Convention, as previously recommended (ibid.), was not set up. 13. The Committee encourages the State party to establish an independent and effective mechanism in accordance with the Paris Principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (General Assembly resolution 48/134), provided with adequate human and financial resources and easily accessible to children, that: (a) Monitors the implementation of the Convention; (b) Deals with complaints from children in a child-sensitive and expeditious manner; and (c) Provides remedies for violations of their rights under the Convention. In this regard, the Committee further recommends that the State party consider seeking technical assistance from, among others, UNICEF and OHCHR. Budgetary allocations 14. The Committee expresses its concern that there is no integrated budget for children and that budgetary allocations for children are still insufficient to respond to national and local priorities for the promotion and protection of children’s rights and to overcome and remedy existing disparities between rural and urban areas with respect to services provided to children. Further, it notes with deep concern that, according to data provided in the State party’s report, one third of children in Chile live in poverty. 15. In light of article 4 of the Convention, the Committee encourages the State party: (a) To continue its efforts to reduce poverty and its impact on children, including by strengthening its income redistribution policies in favour of families living in extreme poverty; (b) To identify clearly its priorities with respect to child rights issues in order to ensure that funds are allocated “to the maximum extent of … available resources and, where needed, within the framework of international cooperation” for the full implementation of the economic, social and cultural rights of children, in particular with respect to local governments and for children belonging to the most vulnerable groups in society; and
