A/HRC/19/10
94.
Togo had instituted a wide-ranging reform of its domestic legislation with a view to
incorporating all the provisions of the conventions it had ratified. Furthermore, judges and
justice officials had received training on international instruments.
95.
The National Human Rights Commission enjoyed total autonomy. The only
outstanding question concerned funding, which had proved to be problematic at times.
However, the Commission’s resources would be increased once it was designated the
national mechanism for the prevention of torture.
96.
The delegation pointed out that the mandate of the Togolese Economic and Social
Council was broader than that of the National Commission for Development and that there
was therefore no risk of overlap in their work.
97.
The delegation recalled that social protection had existed in the private sector before
being introduced in the public sector. It was in the informal sector that the problem
persisted.
98.
The delegation mentioned a development programme related to sanitation.
99.
In conclusion, the head of delegation thanked everyone who had participated in the
interactive dialogue.
