CRC/C/15/Add.225 page 3 8. The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to ensure full conformity of its legislation with the Convention and to ensure that the law in question is fully implemented in practice. Coordination 9. The Committee concurs with the statement made in the State party’s report that “the need to coordinate children’s problems and find solutions to them at the national level is more urgent than ever” (para. 78). The Committee notes with regret in this regard that, apart from the body set up in 1999 to coordinate the affairs of children deprived of parental care, no standing national mechanism has been established to ensure effective coordination of activities in the field of children’s rights between ministries, local authorities and non-governmental organizations. 10.

The Committee reiterates its recommendation that the State party develop a comprehensive system for collecting disaggregated data as a basis on which to assess progress achieved in the realization of children’s rights and to help design policies to implement the Convention. The Committee encourages the State party to seek technical assistance from, among others, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in this regard. Independent monitoring structures 13. The Committee underlines the importance of ensuring that the newly established Human Rights Procurator (Ombudsperson) receives sufficient powers and human and financial resources to deal adequately with children’s rights. 14. The Committee encourages the State party to ensure that the Office of the Human Rights Procurator works as an independent and effective national institution in accordance with the Principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles, General Assembly resolution 48/134, annex). The Committee recommends that the State party, in accordance with the Committee’s general comment No. 2 (2002) on the role of national human rights institutions in the protection and promotion of the rights of the child, establish either a
