CRC/C/15/Add.99 page 4 of the economic, social and cultural rights of children, to the maximum extent of available resources and, where needed, within the framework of international cooperation. 13. While recognizing the efforts of the State party to promote awareness of the principles and provisions of the Convention, particularly within the primary school system, the Committee remains concerned that professional groups, children not regularly enrolled in school and the public at large are generally not sufficiently aware of the Convention and the rights-based approach enshrined therein. The Committee recommends that greater effort be made to ensure that the provisions of the Convention are widely known and understood by adults and children alike, residing in both rural and urban areas. In this regard, it encourages the State party to continue its efforts to make the Convention available, including through popular oral forms, in all minority and indigenous languages. The Committee further recommends the reinforcement of adequate and systematic training and/or sensitization of professional groups working with and for children, such as judges, lawyers, law enforcement personnel, teachers, school administrators, health personnel, including psychologists, social workers, officials of central or local administration, and personnel of child-care institutions. The Committee encourages the State party also to pursue measures to raise the awareness of the media and the public at large concerning the rights of the child. It further suggests that the State party seek to ensure that the Convention is fully integrated into the curricula at all levels of the educational system. In this regard, the Committee suggests that the State party seek technical assistance from, inter alia, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNICEF and UNESCO. 14. The Committee expresses concern at the low minimum legal age for marriage. The Committee is also concerned that the law does not allow children, particularly adolescents, to seek medical or legal counselling without parental consent, even when it is in the best interests of the child. The Committee notes with concern that domestic legislation does not provide a legal minimum age for conscription into the armed forces. The Committee is concerned at the proposal of the State party to establish 16 years as the legal minimum age for conscription. The Committee recommends that the State party review its legislation in order to bring it into conformity with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee further encourages the State party to set a legal minimum age for conscription and to set that age at 18 years, rather than 16 years. 15. The Committee wishes to express its concern that the State party does not appear to have fully taken into account the provisions of the Convention, especially its general principles, as reflected in its articles 2 (non-discrimination), 3 (best interests of the child), 6 (right to life, survival and development) and 12 (respect for the views of the child), in its legislation, its administrative and judicial decisions, as well as in its policies and programmes relevant to children. It is the Committee's view that further efforts must be undertaken to ensure that the principles of the Convention, in particular the general principles, not only guide policy discussion and decision-making, but are also appropriately integrated into all legal revisions, as well as into judicial and administrative decisions and projects, programmes and services which have an impact on children.
