The Committee recommends that the State party ratify the core United Nations
human rights treaties and their Protocols to which it is not yet a party, namely the
International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced
Disappearance, the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights, the Second Optional Protocol to the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Optional Protocol
to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment or Punishment.

Follow-up and dissemination
Follow-up
94.
The Committee recommends that the State party take all appropriate measures
to ensure full implementation of the present recommendations, inter alia, by
transmitting them to the Legislative Assembly, relevant ministries, the judiciary and
local authorities for appropriate consideration and further action. The Committee
also recommends the prompt approval of the Bill proposing the creation of a
mechanism to follow-up on the implementation of the recommendations of
international human rights monitoring bodies.
Dissemination
95.
The Committee recommends that the third and fourth combined periodic
report and written replies and related recommendations (concluding observations) it
adopted be made widely available to the public at large, including notably children,
youth groups and civil society organizations and the media, in order to generate
debate and awareness of the Convention, its implementation and monitoring.
11.
Next report
96.
In light of the recommendation on reporting periodicity adopted by the
Committee and described in its reports CRC/C/114 and CRC/C/124, and noting that
the State party’s fifth periodic report is due within two years after the consideration
of its combined third and fourth report, the Committee invites the State party to
submit a consolidated fifth and sixth periodic report on 1 March 2016 (i.e. 18 months
before the date established in the Convention for the submission of the sixth periodic
report). This report should not exceed 120 pages (see CRC/C/118). The Committee
expects the State party to report every five years thereafter, as foreseen by the
Committee
97.
The Committee also invites the State party to submit an updated core
document in accordance with the requirements of the common core document in the
“Harmonized guidelines on reporting under the international human rights treaties,
including guidelines on a common core document and treaty-specific documents”,
approved at the fifth Inter-Committee meeting of the human rights treaty bodies in
June 2006 (HRI/MC/2006/3)
