A/HRC/23/56/Add.2 contravention with the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, while duly cooperating with the UNHCR and implementing its recommendations. 77. The Special Rapporteur recommends the improvement of accommodation conditions in the temporary reception centres (CETIs) in Ceuta and Melilla. In this regard, he urges the Government to address the serious problem of the overcrowding in CETIs. He also recommends the provision of more regular and quality legal assistance within the CETIs. 78. The Special Rapporteur regrets the differing approach to asylum in the Spanish mainland and in Ceuta and Melilla, which undermines international protection in the autonomous cities. He urges the Government to provide the same reception conditions to asylum seekers in Ceuta and Melilla as to those who are the mainland. He also urges Spain to put an end to discrimination in the implementation of the administrative measures implemented in Ceuta and Melilla, including with regard to the freedom of movement from the autonomous cities to the mainland of asylum seekers whose applications have been declared admissible, and their eligibility for the humanitarian transfer. 79. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to shorten the delays in processing asylum requests and ensure that the six-month time frame established by law is duly respected by the relevant authorities. He also recommends that the right of asylum seekers to free legal aid be preserved and not restricted by budget cuts. More efforts in training on human rights and asylum procedures for law enforcement agents should be provided. He recommends close cooperation with the UNHCR in this regard. 80.

The Special Rapporteur recommends the adoption of a gender perspective in the treatment of asylum requests filed by women and the implementation of genderbased measures such as providing same-sex interviewers and interpreters. The Special Rapporteur also recommends the facilitation of access to asylum procedures for women victims or potential victims of trafficking in line with UNHCR Guideline on International Protection No. 7 on the application of Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Convention and/or 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees to victims of trafficking and persons at risk of being trafficked. 82. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to address the situation of stateless persons in Spain in conformity with its international human rights obligations. He recommends in particular accelerating the procedure for determining statelessness and ensuring that adequate resources, including human and financial, are provided to carry out this procedure in a timely manner respectful of human rights.
