CRC/C/SRB/CO/1 page 5 areas covered by the Convention reliable data for the monitoring and evaluation of the situation of children in the State party, including vulnerable groups, are not available. 20. The Committee encourages the State party to proceed with its efforts to establish a consolidated system for the comprehensive collection and analysis of disaggregated data allowing for comparative analysis covering all children, with specific attention to groups of children who are in need of special protection. Dissemination of the Convention and training 21. The Committee, while noting the existence of a civic educational manual for training teachers, is concerned at the lack of further information on the dissemination of the Convention and the promotion of awareness of its principles and provisions across government agencies and civil society as well as the media. The Committee is also concerned that human rights training, including on child rights, provided to judicial officers, health personnel and other relevant professional groups is insufficient. 22. The Committee recommends that the State party undertake efforts, in cooperation with local non-governmental organizations (NGO) and the international community, to systematically disseminate information on the Convention among children, parents, civil society organizations and government agencies, and to provide all relevant professional groups with targeted and regular training on the provisions and principles of the Convention. Cooperation with civil society 23. The Committee notes that collaboration between governmental institutions and NGOs takes place, including through the cooperation of representatives of both governmental and nongovernmental entities, in the Council for the Rights of the Child. However, the Committee is concerned that the cooperation with civil society organizations is not systematically encouraged. 24. The Committee emphasizes the important role civil society plays as a partner in implementing the provisions of the Convention and encourages closer cooperation with NGOs. The Committee recommends that the State party systematically promote a climate of collaboration between the Government and civil society organizations working with and for children throughout all stages of the implementation of the Convention. 2. General principles (arts. 2, 3, 6 and 12 of the Convention) Non-discrimination 25. The Committee commends the State party for the inclusion of special provisions on protection from discrimination in its legislation, such as the Law on Protection of Disabled Persons against Discrimination and the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Freedoms of National Minorities, as well as initiatives targeted at the inclusion of minorities. The Committee notes that the draft law on prohibiting discrimination is awaiting adoption and is concerned that certain groups of children, including Roma children, children of returnees, children without birth certificate, children belonging to minorities and children with disabilities, face de facto discrimination, most importantly with regard to access to education and health care.
