Australia urged Swaziland to invite the special rapporteurs of the Human Rights Council to visit. 32. Botswana commended Swaziland for the ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict, and for training for judicial and law enforcement officials, with an emphasis on the handling of children during court cases.
