CRC/C/15/Add.170 page 23 81. The Committee strongly recommends that the State party continue and strengthen its efforts to develop and implement policies and programmes towards improved respect for the rights of Roma children, including through cooperation with representatives of the Roma themselves and through empowerment of Roma communities. 9. Ratification of the Optional Protocols 82. Noting the State party’s signature of the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography and on the involvement of children in armed conflict, the Committee recommends that the State party proceed with ratification of both instruments. 10. Dissemination of documentation 83. The Committee is concerned that the State party’s initial report has received very little dissemination within the State party, including even within government ministries and among relevant NGOs. 84. In light of article 44, paragraph 6, of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the initial report and written replies submitted by the State party be made widely available to the public at large and that the publication of the report be considered, along with the relevant summary records and concluding observations adopted by the Committee. Such a document should be widely distributed in order to generate debate and awareness of the Convention and its implementation and monitoring within all levels of administration of the State party and the general public, including concerned NGOs. -----
