CERD/C/KGZ/CO/5-7 rights education and their concrete results, in particular with regard to law enforcement officials as well as in schools (art. 7). The Committee recommends that the State party redouble its efforts to ensure that law enforcement officers receive training in human rights and in particular with regard to the provisions of the Convention. The State party should also include human rights education in school curricula and conduct awareness-raising campaigns on human rights, including on racial discrimination. National human rights institution 21. The Committee is concerned about the selection and appointment process as well as the lack of guarantee of tenure for the members of the governing body of the Ombudsman which may not guarantee its independence. The Committee notes that the institution of the Ombudsman was accredited “B” status in 2012, which demonstrates that it is not in full compliance with the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (Paris Principles) (art. 2). The Committee recommends that the State party bring the institution of the Ombudsman into compliance with the Paris principles or establish a national human rights institution in a manner that is fully consistent with the Paris Principles. D. Other recommendations Ratification of other treaties 22. Bearing in mind the indivisibility of all human rights, the Committee encourages the State party to consider ratifying those international human rights treaties which it has not yet ratified, in particular treaties the provisions of which have a direct relevance to communities that may be the subject of racial discrimination, such as the ratification of the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. Follow-Up to Durban Declaration and Programme of Action 23. In light of its general recommendation No. 33 (2009) on follow-up to the Durban Review Conference, the Committee recommends that the State party give effect to the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, adopted in September 2001 by the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, taking into account the outcome document of the Durban Review Conference, held in Geneva in April 2009, when implementing the Convention in its domestic legal order. The Committee requests that the State party include in its next periodic report specific information on action plans and other measures taken to implement the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action at the national level. Consultation with organizations of civil society 24. The Committee recommends that the State party continue consulting and expanding its dialogue with organizations of civil society working in the area of human rights protection, in particular in combating racial discrimination, in connection with the preparation of the next periodic report and the follow-up to these concluding observations. Competence of the Committee on individual complaints 25. The Committee encourages the State party to make the optional declaration provided for in article 14 of the Convention. 8
