C. Principal matters of concern and recommendations Applicability of the Covenant in domestic courts 5. The Committee notes that according to article 6 (3) of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic, international human rights treaties are part of the domestic law. However, it regrets the lack of evidence that domestic courts apply the provisions of the Covenant (art. 2). The State party should take appropriate measures to raise awareness among judges, lawyers and prosecutors about the Covenant and the direct applicability of its provisions in domestic law, so as to ensure that they are taken into account before domestic courts. The State party should include detailed examples of the application of the Covenant by the domestic courts in its next periodic report. Implementation of the Views of the Committee 6. While welcoming article 41 (2) of the State party’s Constitution, which stipulates the obligation to take measures to restore victims’ rights and provide compensation in cases where violations are found by international treaty bodies, the Committee is concerned about the failure to implement the Views adopted by the Committee in relation to the State party, and about allegations that asylum seekers continue to be returned to their home countries notwithstanding the Committee’s Views on the matter. Despite the information provided during the dialogue, the Committee regrets the lack of clarity on the role of the newly established Human Rights Coordination Council with respect to the implementation of the Committee’s Views (art. 2). The State party should take all necessary measures to ensure the full implementation of the Views adopted by the Committee in relation to the State party. The Human Rights Coordination Council should also be mandated with monitoring the implementation of the Committee’s Views and should address this issue as a matter of urgency. 2
