A/HRC/13/28 The law reform process, including constitutional review, is making little progress. As no reference was made to the recommendations made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the review process, crucial recommendations are yet to be implemented. The issues of the separation of Attorney General from the Ministry of Justice, the removal of the death penalty from the Constitution, the amendment of discriminatory provisions of the Constitution and the review of the seditious libel provision of the Public Order Act have yet to be addressed. In the area of women’s and children’s rights, customs and traditions continue to bar full implementation of certain laws, such as the Child Rights Act and the Domestic Violence Act. Capacity constraints on investigating authorities, the low rate of prosecution, out of court settlements and interference by traditional leaders in judicial matters continue to undermine the judicial process, thus creating room for impunity, particularly regarding sexual and gender-based violence. In the light of the above challenges, the report concludes with a set of recommendations for the Government of Sierra Leone and its international partners. 2 GE.10-10771
