CRC/C/15/Add.113 page 3 C. Factors and difficulties impeding the implementation of the Convention 7. The Committee acknowledges that the economic and social difficulties facing the State party have had a negative impact on the situation of children and have impeded the full implementation of the Convention. In particular, it notes the impact of the structural adjustment programme and the increasing level of unemployment and poverty. The Committee further notes that the limited availability of skilled human resources also adversely affects the full implementation of the Convention. D. Subjects of concern and the Committee’s recommendations D.1. General measures of implementation 8. The Committee notes the commitment expressed by the delegation to encourage the State party to withdraw its reservation to article 16 of the Convention and recommends that all necessary measures be taken to facilitate the process at the earliest possible opportunity, in the light of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action (1993). 9. The Committee notes that a study was undertaken to identify the inconsistencies between domestic legislation and the Convention. The Committee also notes that a Code on the Well-being and Protection of Children has been elaborated and incorporated in the Code of General Social Protection which is currently being reviewed by the Ministry for the Advancement of Women, Children and the Family with a view to final adoption by the National Assembly. The Committee remains concerned, however, that domestic legislation, and in particular customary law, still does not fully reflect the principles and provisions of the Convention. The Committee encourages the State party to take all necessary measures to ensure the early enactment of the draft Code of General Social Protection and to ensure that its domestic legislation conforms fully with the principles and provisions of the Convention. 10. While the Committee notes the establishment of the Inter-Ministerial Commission for the Implementation of the National Plan of Action for the Survival, Development and Protection of Children, it is concerned that insufficient resources have been allocated to allow the Commission to coordinate effectively the implementation of programmes for children. The Committee is also concerned that much of the work of the Commission is centralized in the regional capitals and the Bamako district, with very little focus at the community level. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to ensure that adequate human and financial resources are allocated to facilitate the coordination and implementation of the National Plan of Action, as well as of the Convention, and that programmes be established in rural areas at the community level.
