(s) Finalize without delay the bill establishing a national human rights
commission in accordance with the Paris Principles, and ensure that its mandate
covers equality and non-discrimination based on sex/gender and other
interrelated factors;
(t) Abolish the death penalty, in accordance with the recommendations of
the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the draft additional
protocol to the African Charter of Human and Peoples’ Rights on the abolition of
the death penalty in Africa;
(u) In humanitarian assistance programmes and programming decisions,
take full account of the needs of people living with disabilities;
(v) Establish a system to guarantee a minimum representation of women
among members of parliament and offer incentives to political parties to put

109. Following the commitment by the armed militias to release all children
associated with the conflict, the Independent Expert requests the authorities, with
the assistance of MINUSCA, to:
(a) Ensure that no child acts on behalf of a militia. Children released or
separated from armed groups are victims and should receive special protection;
(b) Continue efforts towards reopening schools and rehabilitating
hospitals and health centres; protect those institutions and put an end to their use
for military purposes.
110. The Independent Expert recommends that the international community:
(a) Mobilize further to provide more assistance to the Central African
Republic so that it may make the transition to peace, national reconciliation and
combating impunity;
(b) Commit itself to funding the Special Criminal Court and supporting
the criminal justice system in order to restore the chain of criminal prosecution;
(c) Continue funding humanitarian assistance programmes and the
Central African Republic Regional Refugee Response Plan, which are
considerably underfunded.
111. She appeals to the international community for urgent financing of the
disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme, with special
attention to be paid to the needs of children associated with armed forces and
groups.
112. The Independent Expert calls on the international community to provide
technical assistance to the Government for the purposes of sound management of
revenues from mineral resources.
113. Finally, she calls on the United Nations and the troop-contributing countries
to shed full light on the allegations of sexual abuse committed in the Central
African Republic, to bring those responsible to justice and to provide reparations
to the victims. She urges all relevant authorities to take measures to strengthen
prevention of such abuses, including by deploying personnel who are trained,
qualified, equipped and commanded in such a way as to be able to fulfil thei r
responsibilities to protect civilians.
