With regard to sexual violence, the independent expert reiterates his recommendation that the Government should: (a) Remind all judicial personnel of the provisions of the acts of 2006, for example by circulating a memorandum on that subject; (b) Facilitate the taking of evidence in cases of sexual violence by supporting the adoption and distribution of a standard medical certificate that could serve as evidence in trials; (c) Increase the number of women and the level of specialization in the judiciary, by training designated specialized teams at each level of the judiciary, the police and the courts; (d) Promote victims’ access to justice by exempting victims of sexual violence and, ultimately, all victims of serious offences committed by State agents, from payment of legal costs; (e) Take responsibility for sexual violence committed by State agents by giving priority to compensation for victims who sued for damages in major trials such as the Songo Mboyo trial and by providing substantial funding for compensation of victims in the next budget law;
