A/HRC/24/59 85. While the establishment of such a commission is encouraging, its current mandate, composition and functioning are not compliant with international standards, which compromises its independence, credibility, impartiality and transparency. The mission was informed that the findings of the Commission would not be followed up on by the judiciary; instead, the Commission is expected to report to the President of the National Transitional Council. The mission also found that its members do not have the required expertise in international human rights law, international humanitarian law, sexual and gender-based violence, and investigation techniques. Also, several members had been designated by the President of the National Transitional Council. 86. For the above reasons, the Commission, unless its mandate and functioning are strengthened in compliance with relevant international standards, will not be able to address impunity by ensuring that perpetrators of human rights abuses are brought to justice. 2. National commission for human rights and fundamental freedoms 87. The bill establishing a national commission for human rights and fundamental freedoms (Commission nationale des droits de l´homme et des libertés fondamentales) was pending before Parliament in December 2012, when the conflict started. The commission has yet to be established. 88. While the Ministry for Human Rights and the Coordination of Humanitarian Action was established in June 2013, it does not have the human and financial resources necessary to be operational. 3. Collection of weapons and cantonment of armed persons 89. On 1 July 2013, the transitional Government, with the support of MICOPAX, launched the disarmament and cantonment of Séléka soldiers with a view to re-establishing security and public order in the country. While a number of camps in Bangui, including the Béal and Berengoto camps, served for the cantonment of Séléka soldiers, the mission was not given access to the camps and was unable to obtain from the authorities information on the exact number of Séléka soldiers disarmed and cantoned in these camps. In parallel to the cantonment of Séléka soldiers, the transitional Government is proceeding with the socalled “regroupment” of soldiers from the FACA. 90. At present, no screening of Séléka members has been conducted under international guidance to exclude all perpetrators of violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, which is a core element of the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process and security sector reform, to ensure that the security and defence forces of the transitional authority are credible and legitimate. 16 VIII.
