CRC/C/FIN/CO/4 legislative framework covering the full scope of the Convention and of its Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict. 9. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to ensure that legislation and administrative regulations conform fully to the principles and provisions of the Convention and its Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict and that it consider drafting consolidated legislation encompassing all rights under the Convention. Coordination 10. While noting that the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health is responsible for the welfare of children, especially for the development of social and health services and income security for families with children, the Committee remains concerned that – given that the Ministry’s responsibilities are limited to only certain areas of children’s rights – it may not serve as an adequate coordination mechanism responsible for the overall coordination of the Convention’s implementation between all the relevant bodies and institutions at national, regional and municipal levels, in view of the abundance of programmes and policies on children’s rights. 11. The Committee calls upon the State party to ensure that it undertakes measures to establish an effective mechanism for coordinating the implementation of policies on child rights between all the relevant bodies and institutions at all levels. In doing so, the State party is urged to ensure that the mechanism is provided with the necessary human, technical and financial resources to implement policies that are comprehensive, coherent and consistent at national, regional and municipal levels. National plan of action 12. The Committee welcomes the Development Programme for Child and Youth Policy and the Policy Programme for the Well-being of Children, Youth and Families. However, it regrets that the State party has yet to adopt a comprehensive rights-based policy and a harmonized plan for the full and effective implementation of the Convention. 13. The Committee recommends that the State party develop a comprehensive policy and plan of action for the full implementation of the Convention. In formulating such a policy and plan, appropriate attention should be paid to the outcome document of the twenty-seventh special session of the General Assembly“A world fit for children” and its mid-term review in 2007. It further recommends that the plan of action contain specific time-bound and measurable goals and targets to effectively implement and monitor progress in the enjoyment of all rights by all children. The plan of action should be linked to sectoral, national and municipal strategies and budgets to ensure appropriate allocation of the human, technical and financial resources required for its implementation. Independent monitoring 14. The Committee notes the division of competencies between the Parliamentary Ombudsman and the Ombudsman for Children, by which the Parliamentary Ombudsman may receive complaints on violation of children’s rights, including from children themselves, while the Ombudsman for Children is responsible for monitoring policies on children. However, the Committee is concerned that children may not be aware of the complaints procedure of the Parliamentary Ombudsman or understand how it works. The Committee is also concerned at the insufficient resources provided to the Office of the Ombudsman for Children. 3
