CCPR/C/79/Add.79 page 4 that human rights education be provided in schools at all levels, in order to develop a culture of human rights within society. 17. The Committee regrets that insufficient information was provided on the actual compliance with the provisions of article 9 of the Covenant in relation to all forms of detention, in particular pre-trial administrative detention and detention of asylum seekers. Therefore: the Committee recommends that the Government undertake a comprehensive analysis of legislation and practice relating to administrative detention to assess its compliance with article 9 of the Covenant. 18. With respect to article 14 of the Covenant, the Committee notes with concern that the present rules governing the appointment of judges by the Government with approval of Parliament could have a negative effect on the independence of the judiciary. Therefore: the Committee recommends that specific measures guaranteeing the independence of the judiciary, protecting judges from any form of political influence through the adoption of laws regulating the appointment, remuneration, tenure, dismissal and disciplining of members of the judiciary, be adopted as a matter of priority. 19. The Committee also notes with concern that the right to free legal assistance provided for by article 14, paragraph 3 (d), of the Covenant does not seem to be guaranteed in all cases, but only in cases for which the maximum penalty is more than five years' imprisonment. It further notes with concern that although the law provides for the assistance of a lawyer immediately after arrest, many cases of failure to respect this right during police custody were reported. Therefore: the Committee recommends that legislation regulating the provision of free legal assistance be reviewed to ensure that it conforms to the Covenant, and that the implementation of laws and regulations governing the presence and assistance of lawyers be closely monitored. 20. The Committee further notes with concern that civilians may be tried by military courts in certain cases, including betrayal of State secrets, espionage and State security. Therefore: the Committee recommends that the Criminal Code be amended so as to prohibit the trial of civilians by military tribunals in any circumstances. 21. The Committee notes that Act No. 308/1991 Coll. on freedom of religion and the status of churches and religious societies and Acts No. 83/1990 Coll., 300/1990 Coll. and 62/1993 Coll. on the association of citizens require that churches, religious societies, associations and non-governmental organizations be registered in order to function freely and/or to receive subsidies from the State. Given that prerequisites to this registration are very restrictive, some churches and religious or other associations are excluded from being legally recognized. Therefore:
