CRC/C/15/Add.124 page 3 D. Subjects of concern and recommendations 1. General measures of implementation Legislation 10. While the Committee notes the recent efforts by the State party to enact additional legislation and to undertake a review of its legislation to ensure greater consistency with the Convention, it is concerned that domestic legislation still does not fully reflect the principles and provisions of the Convention. 11. The Committee recommends that the State party reinforce its efforts to ensure that its laws conform fully with the principles and provisions of the Convention and in this regard encourages the prompt submission of the recommendations of the review of legislation to Parliament with a view to their early implementation.
