CRC/C/ROM/CO/4 page 9 especially in cases concerning children born at home or of parents who themselves lack a birth certificate. 36. The Committee recommends that the State party raise awareness of hospital staff, administrators and other health professionals, of their responsibilities to register births and to facilitate the issuing of birth certificates. Protection of privacy 37.
