A/HRC/12/2 page 13 56. Ghana, noting challenges, supported the Government’s call to the international community to help strengthen its institutions. Ghana recommended that the Government speed up efforts to ensure the proper functioning of the National Human Rights Commission in accordance with the Paris Principles; and implement the recommendations made by the Human Rights Committee following its consideration of the country’s periodic report. 57. Argentina encouraged the Central African Republic to continue the national dialogue and recommended taking all possible measures to ensure respect for and promotion of international human rights law, international humanitarian law and international law for refugees. It asked about results in preventing the recruitment of children. Noting with interest the creation of a National Human Rights Commission, it recommended adapting internal legislation to international standards in this area, including the Paris Principles. Argentina invited the State to consider ratifying CED and accepting the competence of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances. It recommended that it consider ratifying the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the establishment of an African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, ICCPR-OP 2, the Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, the Convention on the Political Rights of Women, the Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, the Convention on the Nationality of Married Women, international conventions on apartheid and the OP-CAT. 58. Belgium noted that cooperation with the United Nations, particularly the Peacebuilding Commission and the Working Group of the Security Council on children and armed conflict, was encouraging. It asked about Government follow-up to recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions in 2008. Belgium recommended (a) the establishment of a permanent coordination structure for different security forces to consistently address various issues such as the training of the military and providing them with weapons; and that members of the security forces receive training in humanitarian and human rights law and that they follow a programme for gender awareness at all ranks; and (b) that members of the security forces suspected of violations of human rights or humanitarian law be rapidly handed over to justice for investigation and judgment. It encouraged severe vetting action linked to recruiting and promotion. It recommended (c) signing and ratifying CRC-OP-AC and implementing it nationally. 59. The Czech Republic recommended (a) ensuring comprehensive training and education for all security forces and prison staff in human rights and international humanitarian law, and adopting legal and other necessary measures to ensure their full accountability for any violations of these norms; (b) deletion of the crime of witchcraft from the penal code and the launching of wide education campaigns against the phenomenon of violence against perceived witches together with concrete measures to protect victims or potential victims of such attacks. Welcoming decriminalization of press offences, it recommended (c) adoption of further measures to ensure in practice protection of journalists against threats and attacks, including imprisonment in contravention of their right to freedom of expression. On upholding the principle of non-discrimination, particularly relating to women and minorities, including sexual minorities, it recommended (d) reviewing all relevant national legislation so that it complies fully with international instruments that prohibit all forms of discrimination.
