CRC/C/15/Add.58 page 5 ensuring an integrated legal approach to children’s rights in the light of the principles and provisions of the Convention, the Committee encourages the State party to pursue its efforts aimed at the adoption of a Code on Children and Adolescents. 26. The Committee recommends that legislative measures be undertaken to ensure that national legislation conforms with the provisions of articles 37 and 40 of the Convention, including establishing a minimum age of criminal responsibility. The Committee also recommends that the State party set the age for completion of compulsory schooling at 15 and consider raising the minimum age of employment to 15. Further, the Committee recommends that the State party review its legislation on the age of marriage for girls in the light of the principles and provisions of the Convention, notably those of its articles 2, 3 and 24, with a view to raising it and ensuring the same age for girls and boys. 27. The Committee encourages the State party to pursue its efforts to strengthen the institutional framework for the promotion and protection of human rights in general and the rights of the child, in particular. The Committee recommends that a permanent and multidisciplinary mechanism be developed for coordinating and implementing the Convention at the national and local levels and in urban and rural areas. The Committee also encourages the promotion of close cooperation with non-governmental organizations in this regard. 28. The Committee further recommends that the State party give priority attention to the development of a system of data collection and to the identification of appropriate disaggregated indicators with a view to addressing all areas of the Convention and all groups of children in society. Such mechanisms can play a vital role in systematically monitoring the status of children and evaluating the progress achieved and the difficulties hampering the realization of children’s rights, and can be used as a basis for designing programmes to improve the situation of children, particularly those belonging to the most disadvantaged groups, including girls, children living in rural areas and indigenous children. It is further suggested that the State party request international cooperation in this regard, particularly from the United Nations Children’s Fund. 29. In view of the State party’s willingness to develop a culture of human rights and to change attitudes towards children in general and the indigenous population in particular, the Committee recommends that information and education about children’s rights be disseminated among children and adults alike. It is also recommended that consideration be given to the translation of such information into the main indigenous languages and that appropriate measures be adopted to spread such information in such a way that it reaches groups affected by a high level of illiteracy. In the light of the considerable experience of the United Nations Children’s Fund and other organizations in responding to such challenges, it is recommended that international cooperation be sought in this regard. 30. It is the view of the Committee that training and education in the principles and provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is
