CRC/C/15/Add.196 page 4 Monitoring structures 11. The Committee welcomes the existence of various mechanisms for filing complaints, such as the Legal Chancellor, also mandated to serve as Ombudsman. Nevertheless, it is concerned that this is not a specialized body with an explicit mandate to address effectively violations of children’s rights and to monitor and regularly evaluate progress in the implementation of the Convention. 12. The Committee recommends that the State party consider the establishment of a Unit, or a specialized body, within or outside the Legal Chancellor’s Office, in accordance with the Principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (“The Paris Principles”) (General Assembly resolution 48/134, annex) and the Committee’s General Comment No. 2, to monitor and evaluate progress in the implementation of the Convention at the national and local levels. This body should be adequately resourced, accessible to children, empowered to receive, investigate and address effectively complaints of violations of children’s rights in a child-sensitive manner. National plan of action 13. The Committee notes that the State party is in the process of elaborating various strategies for implementing parts of the Convention; however, it is concerned at the absence of a rights-based comprehensive plan of action for all children. 14. The Committee encourages the State party to develop a comprehensive rights-based plan of action for the full implementation of the Convention that includes, inter alia, strategies that are under consideration by the State party and goals and objectives of the outcome document “A World Fit for Children” and provide the mechanisms and regulations for the effective implementation of this plan of action. Resource allocation 15. The Committee is concerned that the increase in public expenditure on children is not commensurate with the State party’s overall budget increase and is not “to the maximum extent of … available resources”, as stipulated in article 4 of the Convention. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned that legislation, strategies and policies are not linked to detailed resource allocation. 16. In the light of article 4 of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Ensure implementation of the economic, social and cultural rights of all children, to the maximum extent of available resources; (b) Continue to prioritize and target budgetary allocation for children belonging to the most vulnerable groups;
