A/HRC/32/52 Rights Commission of Côte d’Ivoire and for implementing the law on the protection of human rights defenders, which will be crucial to ensure that civil society organizations are able to play their role fully. The establishment of the Ministry of Solidarity, Social Cohesion and Victim Compensation is a major step towards achieving national reconciliation. The Ministry will be responsible for implementing the recommendations of the National Commission for Reconciliation and Compensation of Victims and the Dialogue, Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Efforts are being made to identify the victims of crises in Côte d’Ivoire with a view to providing them with compensation and to process criminal justice cases relating to the post-electoral crisis of 2010. The Ivorian authorities plan to have completed the processing of those cases by the end of 2016. The Independent Expert notes with appreciation the commitment of the judicial authorities to ensuring equitable justice for all victims of the crises that have occurred in the country since 1990. The Independent Expert emphasizes that the fight against impunity will be essential in order to prevent intercommunal violence of the sort that occurred in March in the vicinity of Bouna which resulted in a number of deaths. In this case, it is noteworthy that the chief of the dozo brotherhood in Bouna was immediately arrested and charged with murder and incitement to murder. The prosecution, while respecting due process, of those responsible for crimes committed during the unrest can only serve to further efforts to achieve national reconciliation. The Independent Expert noted an improvement in conditions at the Juvenile Observation Centre sited within the Abidjan Detention and Correctional Centre which was brought about through concerted advocacy in favour of children in conflict with the law and increased awareness of their vulnerability and their inalienable right to education and decent living conditions. Nevertheless, the ideal course of action would be to establish a juvenile observation centre that is in keeping with the standards of a rehabilitation institution and that is located outside of the detention centre. Côte d’Ivoire still has numerous challenges to address. The benefits of economic growth are not yet being felt by ordinary citizens, and the security situation, although improved, remains precarious owing to persistent terrorist threats in the region. The intercommunal violence at Bouna highlights the importance of successfully completing the disarmament process in the country. Lastly, the transition that will follow the impending departure of UNOCI will present a further challenge; meeting that challenge will call for concrete measures to ensure greater ownership by national actors of their duty to protect and promote human rights. 2 GE.16-10958
