A/HRC/31/8 its efforts to improve the health and well-being of prisoners and the use of environmentally sound practices in prisons. 16. The obligations of Rwanda under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as the Convention against Torture, were taken very seriously. A national preventive mechanism for the prevention of torture was in the process of being established. All security forces, including the military and police, were required to uphold the tenets of those important international standards in the conduct of their work, and failing to so would result in disciplinary as well as legal action. Allegations of misconduct could be reported directly to the department of legal affairs of the Rwanda National Police, even anonymously. Complaints could also be addressed to the Office of the Ombudsman, the National Commission for Human Rights or the two parliamentary committees on human rights. 17. All detention facilities in Rwanda were legally provided for and documented in accordance with established national and international standards. In addition, all places of detention were regularly inspected by public institutions such as the National Public Prosecution Authority and independent institutions such as the National Commission for Human Rights, as well as various independent organizations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross. 18. However, a clear distinction must be drawn between places of detention and transition or rehabilitation centres such as Gikondo, Gitagata, Iwawa and Nyagatare. In rehabilitation centres the focus was on rehabilitation and reintegration. Each person was assessed and supported to reunite with family or undergo rehabilitation and learn a trade to prevent relapse. 19. Since the first review, the Government had initiated and implemented reforms, primarily aimed at expanding media freedoms, creating a citizen–centred media, boosting the media industry and investing and bringing in self-regulation. The impact of the reforms had brought about growth in the media sector. Since 2011, the number of radio stations had increased from 23 to 35; the number of television stations from 1 to 6, with 5 stations being private; websites from 0 to 80; and newspapers from 15 to 57. In addition, the number of accredited journalists had more than doubled. Also, Rwanda had moved from an analog to a digital platform. 20. Rwanda was one of only 11 African countries to have introduced a law on access to information. The satisfaction of citizens with access to information, as measured by the Rwanda governance scorecard, had grown from 52 per cent in 2012 to 76 per cent in 2014. 21. Between 1962 and 2012, 350 civil society organizations had been registered in Rwanda. As of 2012, there were over 1,600 registered civil society organizations. Before 2011, an organization seeking registration would have had to approach several different agencies to complete the process. Currently, all local civil society organizations, political parties and faith-based organizations were registered by the Rwanda Governance Board. International non-governmental organizations were registered by a specific department in the national immigration service. There were currently 174 international organizations registered and in operation. The Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration was currently overhauling its registration process to make the process completely accessible online. 22. In relation to concern about malnutrition among children, especially in children below the age of 5, several programmes had been initiated by the Ministry of Health in partnership with other stakeholders. However, there remained specific challenges relating to awareness and education regarding nutrition. Efforts would continue to be made to address that knowledge gap. 5
