Main areas of concern and recommendations A. General measures of implementation (arts. 4, 42 and 44, para. 6, of the Convention) The Committee’s previous recommendations 7. While welcoming the State party’s efforts to implement the concluding observations on its previous reports (CRC/C/15/Add.233), the Committee regrets that some of the recommendations contained therein have not been implemented or only partially implemented. 8. The Committee urges the State party to take all necessary measures to address those recommendations from the concluding observations on its second periodic report under the Convention that have not been implemented or sufficiently implemented, particularly those related to a comprehensive law to protect children’s rights; a national plan to promote and protect the rights of the child; the minimum age of marriage; universal birth registration; early pregnancies and adolescent health; discrimination against children (especially Afro-Panamanian and indigenous children); illegal arrest, detention and ill-treatment; juvenile justice; and conditions in detention centres. Legislation 9. The Committee notes that a draft comprehensive law on child rights was submitted to Congress in 2007 but it remains to be approved. It notes that the State party has recently set up an Inter-institutional Commission to elaborate a pre-draft law on the promotion and integral protection of the family. 10. The Committee urges the State party to take the necessary measures to consult with society at large, children and relevant stakeholders with a view to elaborating and adopting a comprehensive law on children’s rights, in which children are rightsholders rather than objects of protection, based on the provisions and principles of the Convention and in accordance with the Committee’s general comment No. 5 (2003) on general measures of implementation for the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 2
