CRC/C/MEX/CO/3 page 7 (c) Strengthen national awareness-raising campaigns to change traditional attitudes that limit children’s right to participation; (d) Regularly review the extent to which children participate in the development and evaluation of laws and policies affecting them, both at national and local levels, and evaluate the extent to which children’s views are taken into consideration, including their impact on relevant policies and programmes. Right to life, survival and development 29. The Committee notes with concern the lack of information in the State party report on the situation of children internally displaced because of the conflict that ended in 1994, and on the current situation of insecurity in some areas of the country, which could have an impact on the children’s right to life, to access to health care and to education. 30. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to protect the rights of all internally displaced children and of children living in insecure areas, in particular the right to life, to health and to education. 4. Civil rights and freedoms (arts. 7, 8, 13-17, 19 and 37 (a) of the Convention) Birth registration 31. While noting the efforts made by the State party to ensure that all births are registered and that all children are issued birth certificates, including by the establishment of mobile units, the Committee is concerned that a large number of children in the State party, in particular indigenous children and children living in remote areas, do have birth certificates. 32. The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen its efforts to ensure that all children are registered free of charge, giving special attention to those children who were not registered at birth, to indigenous children and to children who live in remote areas, using innovative and accessible methods. The Committee also recommends that the State party undertake targeted and innovative efforts to raise awareness of the importance of birth registration for children for the full enjoyment of their rights. Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 33. The Committee is gravely concerned at the reports of cases of torture and cruel and degrading treatment, in particular against street children, migrant children, youth groups and groups of marginalized children, and child victims of sexual and economic exploitation. The Committee is further concerned that most cases are not reported or prosecuted due to the lack of appropriate instances and procedures to register and process complaints of torture and cruel and degrading treatment against children. 34. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation (CRC/C/15/Add.112, para. 23) and that of the Committee against Torture (A/52/44, paras. 166-170), and urges the State party to:
