A/HRC/30/33 irregularities and illegal detention. In addition, with the assistance of UNJHRO, 17 senior law enforcement officers were arrested and 5 were removed from the national police force for serious human rights violations. Two illegal detention centres in Kinshasa and Kisangani were also closed in 2014. 28. From 2008 to 2014, in all provinces in the country, UNJHRO, MONUSCO and UNFPA trained around 421,856 members of FARDC, the national police force and the national intelligence agency in combating sexual violence and promoting respect for human rights and international humanitarian law. Together with UNICEF, they designed training modules on combating sexual violence and on international humanitarian law, which were added to the training programme of the national police force and FARDC. 29. The chart below shows a decrease in the number of human rights violations between 2011 and 2014, with 53 per cent of violations committed by members of FARDC or the national police force in 2014.

The peaks observed in 2012 are explained by a resurgence in the activities of armed groups in the east of the country. 2011 Armed groups Authorities ANR PNC 2012 (Congolese police force ) 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 FARDC Number of violations Chart 2: Perpetrators of human rights violations 2013 2014 Types of perpetrator Source: UNJHRO data. 30. Under the coordination of UNFPA, several partners such as UNJHRO, Heal Africa, the International Rescue Committee, Magna Enfants en Péril and UNICEF, with the support of Member States, created and subsequently handed to the Government (Ministry for Gender, the Family and Children) a database on acts of sexual violence committed between 2010 and 2014. The aim of this official database is to map and coordinate action by the international community in nine provinces. A major obstacle to updating the database is the reticence of certain partners to share information which they consider belongs to them. 31. Since 2012, UNJHRO has assisted the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights in consolidating the data on sentences handed out by national courts in cases of sexual violence. The assistance has consisted in developing tools for data collection, for data analysis and for the production of statistical reports. UNJHRO has placed material resources at the disposal of the Ministry and has assigned an expert to the Ministry to manage the database. Other actors from the United Nations, international NGOs and UNJHRO are finding it difficult to coordinate their efforts to provide similar 10/19 GE.15-14279
