During the adoption of the outcome of the review of Côte d’Ivoire, eight other stakeholders made statements. 523. The International Catholic Child Bureau, in a joint statement co-sponsored by Dominicans for Justice and Peace: Order of Preachers, called on Côte d’Ivoire to ensure adequate health care and food for children and pregnant women in detention and respect the time limit of pre-trial detention by increasing resources dedicated to preliminary investigations. It also called on Côte d’Ivoire to disseminate the recommendations to the State services with the protection of the rights of the child in their attribution, as well as to civil society. It also recommended the State to develop a specific plan for implementation of the recommendations. 524. The International Service for Human Rights referred to the adoption in 2017 of a decree providing the establishment of a mechanism to ensure the implementation of the 2014 law on the protection of human rights defenders and called on the State to guarantee the independence of this mechanism, taking into account article 9 of the law on the protection of women defenders. It expressed concern over a number of different articles of the Criminal Code, which stipulate sanctions against people who participate in undeclared or banned protests that contradict article 3 of the law on the protection of human rights defenders, which guarantees the right to peaceful assembly. It recommended the abrogation of these provisions. With regard to the Independent Electoral Commission, it noted that the Government work with the opposition and civil society and encouraged them to continue a political dialogue in order to put in place an independent consensus-based electoral body. It recommended the adoption of a law guaranteeing better representation of women in decision-making bodies. 525. CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation noted that the right to freedom of peaceful assembly has at times been denied, particularly to the political oppositions, and remained concerned about the high fee for citizens to obtain a National ID Card, which is required for enrolment on the electoral list. CIVICUS called on the Government to conduct independent investigations for all the violations committed against journalists, human rights defenders, trade unionists and wider civil society, including break-ins into the offices of human rights organisations, and to bring perpetrators to justice. 526. International-Lawyers.org regretted to note that the engagement of children in Côte d’Ivoire in the worst forms of child labour persists in the harvesting of cocoa and coffee, sometimes as a result of human trafficking. It noted that progress is hindered by failure to constantly convene the anti-trafficking committee, and this is exacerbated by a lack of clear understanding of the appropriate role of the implementing agencies. It encouraged Côte d’Ivoire to continue in its efforts to combat child trafficking and child labour by regularly assembling the committee, clarifying roles and providing increased training for law enforcement and judicial officials. 82
