CRC/C/15/Add.56 page 5 E. Suggestions and recommendations 24. In the light of the discussion in the Committee on the question of the continuing need for the State party’s reservation to article 6 of the Convention and the information provided by the State party that it is open to considering making adjustments in regard to its reservation, the Committee encourages the State party to review its reservation to the Convention with a view to its withdrawal. 25. The Committee recommends that a comprehensive review of the domestic legal framework be undertaken. Such a review requires that the provisions and principles of the Convention serve as both its guide and support and that it encompass not only national but also local-level legislative and administrative measures impacting on the rights of the child. 26. The Committee recommends that the State party consider the possibility of setting up an independent institution such as an Ombudsperson for children’s rights. Such a mechanism can play an important role both in monitoring institutions working in the field of the rights of the child, including in the areas of welfare, education and juvenile justice, as well as in contributing to the more rapid identification of emerging problems in these fields with a view to their constructive solution. 27. The Committee, in taking note of the activities undertaken throughout the State party to develop and implement outlines for the follow-up to the World Summit for Children, recommends that future outlines, development plans, programmes or plans of action on the rights of the child be prepared on the basis of all the provisions and principles of the Convention. 28. The State party is urged to take further action to strengthen its capacity for a systematic approach to collecting disaggregated statistical data and other information on the status of children. The Committee recommends that serious consideration be given to this matter by the State party as the analysis of such data and information is one additional and important means of designing programmes for the implementation of the rights of the child. 29. It is the recommendation of the Committee that the principles and provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child be widely disseminated throughout the country, including through the mass media, such as radio and television. It is suggested that the State party may wish to request the cooperation of the United Nations Children’s Fund in this regard. The translation of the Convention into the major national minority languages would form an integral part of these dissemination activities. 30. The Committee would also like to recommend that measures be taken to incorporate education on the principles and provisions of the Convention into training programmes for different professionals working with or for children, including social workers, personnel in welfare institutions, doctors, health and family planning workers, teachers, judges, lawyers, police, personnel in detention facilities and armed forces personnel as well as government officials and decision makers.
