CRC/C/CHN/CO/2 page 3 11. The Committee recommends that with respect to the mainland, the State party continue to review legislation to ensure that it conforms fully with the principles and provisions of the Convention, as highlighted in paragraphs 33, 40, 45, 48, 53, 82, 93 and 94 of the present concluding observations, and paragraphs 11 and 13 of the Committee’s concluding observations on the initial report under the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography (CRC/OPSA/CO/2). Coordination and National Plan of Action 12. The Committee notes with appreciation the elaboration of a second National Plan of Action, the National Children’s Development Programme (2001-2010), for the mainland, and also takes note of the growing number of committees and working groups at the State, regional and provincial levels to monitor and implement child rights. However, it is concerned that coordination is fragmented and that the Programme is not implemented uniformly across all regions and localities on the mainland and that coordination of implementation at local and regional levels is sometimes insufficient. 13. As noted above in paragraph 6 (b), the Committee is concerned at the lack of a comprehensive plan of action for the implementation of the Convention in the Hong Kong SAR and that the coordination of existing programmes and policies is rather sectoral and fragmented. The Committee notes the information provided by the delegates from the Macau SAR that a comprehensive plan of action is under discussion. 14. The Committee recommends that on the mainland, the State party further strengthen coordination between the bodies and institutions working on the implementation of the National Children’s Development Programme (2001-2010) at all levels in order to ensure uniform implementation in all regions and provinces. 15. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation that in the Hong Kong SAR, the State party should improve coordination of its activities on the implementation of the Convention by developing and implementing a plan of action for the Hong Kong SAR. The Committee recommends that in the Macau SAR, the State party expedite its discussions in this regard and elaborate and implement a comprehensive plan of action for the Macau SAR. Independent monitoring 16. The Committee notes the information that various ministries on the mainland may receive complaints from the public, but it is concerned at the lack of an independent national human rights institution with a clear mandate to monitor the implementation of the Convention. It similarly regrets the absence of an independent national human rights institution with a specific mandate for child rights on the mainland and the Hong Kong and Macau SARs. 17. The Committee recommends that the State party establish, on the mainland and the Hong Kong and Macau SARs, national human rights institutions with a clear mandate to monitor children’s rights and implement the Convention at national, regional and local levels in accordance with the Principles relating to the status of national institutions
