A/HRC/29/49 rights and international humanitarian law. Lastly, the charges still focus on just one party to the fighting, although the reports of both the international commission and a national commission indicated that both parties committed acts of violence that could constitute international crimes. The Independent Expert states that equitable justice is a necessary passage towards breaking the vicious circle of violence. The Independent Expert recognizes that this path must be embarked on with caution to avoid destroying the hard-won but fragile progress that has been made in security and economic development, which benefits all Ivorians. However, he finds it clear that no achievement can be sustained if it is not endorsed by justice. In that regard, the Independent Expert is pleased to note that almost all those with whom he discussed the issue, particularly Ivorians, agreed that justice must be impartial and equitable. It remains for that conviction to be put fully into practice. The Independent Expert makes a number of recommendations intended to improve detention conditions in prisons and to strengthen measures taken to combat impunity and the legal framework for the protection of human rights in the country. He calls on the international community to provide staunch support for Côte d’Ivoire on its path towards reconstruction. 2 GE.15-08296
