CRC/C/15/Add.112 page 3 children, and hampering the enjoyment of the rights of the child in the State party. The Committee also notes that this situation has been particularly aggravated by severe economic crises and drastic economic reforms. D. Principal subjects of concern and Committee recommendations D.1. General measures of implementation 10. While noting the measures taken by the State party to implement the Committee’s recommendation (CRC/C/15/Add.13, para. 15) concerning the need to harmonize domestic legislation with the Convention, in particular in relation to the process for enacting the Child Protection Code, the Committee remains concerned that current domestic legislation on children’s rights, both at the federal and State levels, does still not reflect the principles and provisions of the Convention and that measures taken to harmonize domestic legislation seem somewhat fragmented and do not take into consideration the holistic approach of the Convention. The Committee reiterates its recommendation that the State party continue its process of legislative reform to ensure that domestic legislation relating to children’s rights, both at the federal and state levels, is in full conformity with the principles and provisions of the Convention and reflects its holistic nature. 11. The Committee welcomes the appointment of 32 state procurators for the defence of the rights of the child and the family and takes note of the proposals to enact a general act establishing the role and powers of their offices. However, the Committee is concerned about the limited powers and resources, both financial and human, of these offices to function in an effective manner for the protection of children’s rights. The Committee recommends that the State party continue its efforts, including legislative measures, to strengthen the mandate and independence, both at the federal and state levels, as well as to increase the resources, both financial and human, of the offices of the state procurators for the defence of the rights of the child and the family. 12. With regard to the Committee’s recommendation (CRC/C/15/Add.13, para. 15), the Committee welcomes the measures taken by the Ministry of Health and the national System for the Integral Development of the Family (DIF) in the coordination and monitoring of the implementation of the National Plan of Action (1995-2000) and takes note of the establishment of the National System for the Follow-up and Monitoring of the Implementation of the Convention (1998). However, the Committee remains concerned that the National System is only operational in seven states of the State party’s territory. In this regard, the Committee recommends that the State party continue taking effective measures to accelerate the establishment, within the framework of the National System for the Follow-up and Monitoring of the Convention, of commissions, at the federal and state levels, to guarantee the implementation of the Convention. In addition, the Committee encourages the State party to continue working in close cooperation with non-governmental organizations active in the field of childrens rights. Furthermore, the Committee recommends that non-governmental organizations be included in the design and implementation of policies and programmes carried out by the National System.
