Main areas of concern and recommendations
The Committee’s previous recommendations
6.
While welcoming the State party’s efforts to implement the Committee’s concluding
observations of 26 February 2004 on the State party’s second periodic report
(CRC/C/93/Add.6), the Committee notes with regret that some of the recommendations
contained therein have not been sufficiently addressed.
7.
The Committee urges the State party to take all necessary measures to address
those recommendations from the concluding observations (CRC/C/93/Add.6) that
have not been implemented or sufficiently implemented, and in particular, it
recommends that the State party:
(a)
Develop a comprehensive system for the analysis of data collected in
order to assess progress achieved in the realization of children’s rights and to help
design policies to implement the Convention;
(b)
Strengthen its efforts in disseminating information on the Convention
and its implementation and develop systematic and ongoing training programmes on
the provisions of the Convention for all professional groups working with or for
children.
Legislation
8.
The Committee notes the adoption of several child-related laws over the reporting
period, in particular amendments to the Law on the Rights of the Child of 1996. It also
notes that numerous legislative initiatives aimed at improving the situation of children’s
rights are pending approval by the Parliament. However, the Committee regrets that
adoption of some of this draft legislation has been delayed for several years, which has
impeded the full and effective realization of children’s rights in many areas. The
Committee is also concerned about the inadequate implementation and enforcement of
existing laws and regulations in the area of children’s rights.
