CRC/C/GTM/CO/3-4 prostitution and child pornography (CRC/C/OPSC/GTM/CO/1) have been addressed, but regrets that others have been insufficiently or only partly considered. 12. The Committee urges the State party to take all necessary measures to address those recommendations from its previous concluding observations that have not yet been sufficiently implemented, including: (a) the weak implementation of the Comprehensive Protection System (Sistema de Protección Integral), its institutional structure, coordination, planning, data collection and budget; (b) the high levels of child malnutrition in the country; (c) the development of comprehensive strategies for eliminating all forms of discrimination, including in the health sector; (d) reduction of poverty among children and increase of expenditures on children, in particular those belonging to the most marginalized groups; (e) deinstitutionalization of children in alternative care; (f) reform of the law and practices regarding the juvenile justice system; (g) improvement of the birth registration system, particularly in rural areas. Legislation 13. The Committee notes the State party’s efforts to bring its legislation in line with the Convention and its two Optional Protocols, including the Act on Sexual Violence, Exploitation and Trafficking in Persons. However, it regrets the insufficient application of the laws that are in place. 14. The Committee recommends that the State party take the necessary steps, including financial and structural, to effectively implement the PINA Law and recent laws approved in accordance with the Policy and Plan of Action on Children and Adolescents. 15. The Committee notes with satisfaction the measures taken by the State party to fight against impunity, in particular the cooperation agreement with CICIG, which conducts investigations and has made recommendations on fighting impunity in relation to cases of violation of children’s rights. However, the Committee regrets that the lack of criminal investigations is one of the main shortcomings of the justice system and that there are four bills on this matter before the Congress of the Republic, none of which has to date been adopted. 16. The Committee recommends that the State party continue its commitment to the fight against impunity, adopt the necessary laws for its realization and ensure that children benefit from the measures preventing impunity for serious offences committed against them. Coordination 17. The Committee notes with concern the lack of adequate implementation of the Comprehensive Protection System (Sistema de Protección Integral) established by the PINA Law. It regrets the lack of effective horizontal and vertical coordination among the State party´s institutions. The Committee also notes that the Social Welfare Secretariat (Secretaría de Bienestar Social) appears to have taken up the coordination of the comprehensive protection system. However, it regrets the overlap of its primary function of implementation of child protection programmes with that of coordination. 18. The Committee recommends that the State party consider creating a high-level authority as a secretariat for children and adolescents at the ministerial level to coordinate the implementation of the Convention and its two Protocols. The Committee brings to the State party’s attention its general comment No. 5 on general measures of implementation, in which it reminds the States parties that “effective implementation of the Convention requires visible cross3
