A/HRC/28/50 transferred to Nzerékoré central prison before being released in confused circumstances. In Dubréka, 55 kilometres from Conakry, a member of the defence forces charged with raping a minor was released and placed under judicial supervision by the investigating judge. 52. There have, however, been some signs of improvement. In August 2014, a soldier of the Presidential Guard was detained by the gendarmerie and brought to court after a medical certificate had been issued confirming the rape of two girls under 10 years of age. He was placed in detention at the Conakry central prison pending trial. IV. Cooperation to promote and protect human rights A. 1. Strengthening of cooperation with the international human rights protection mechanisms Creation of an inter-ministerial human rights committee 53. The delays in the submission by Guinea of its initial and periodic reports to the United Nations treaty bodies were attributable to the indifference of the authorities, for whom human rights issues were not a priority. Thanks to the political will of the current authorities and the support provided by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, an inter-ministerial human rights committee (responsible for drafting reports for submission to the treaty bodies) was created by a decision of the Prime Minister on 21 July 2014. 2. Cooperation with the treaty bodies 54. The OHCHR office in Guinea helped the Government to submit its initial report to the Committee against Torture, by providing technical support for analysing the data collected on the basis of the relevant international standards (see CAT/C/GIN/1). 55. The OHCHR office in Guinea also provided support to the National Directorate for Children of the Ministry of Social Action, in connection with efforts to finalize the two initial reports on the implementation of the first two Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child: the initial report under the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict and the initial report under the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. 3. Universal periodic review 56. In January 2015, the human rights situation in Guinea was considered by the Human Rights Council as a part of the universal periodic review. In 2010, during the first review of Guinea, the Government accepted 105 of the 114 recommendations formulated. 57. From 15 to 19 September 2014, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, in conjunction with the Ministry of Human Rights and Civil Liberties, held a capacity-building workshop for the members of the Inter-Ministerial Committee and representatives of civil society. The workshop addressed the preparation and submission of initial and periodic reports to the various treaty bodies and for the universal periodic review, and the implementation of the recommendations and observations within the participatory process. 12 GE.15-03278
