Principal subjects of concern and recommendations Domestic application of the Covenant 5. In view of the fact that the Covenant has no direct applicability in the domestic legal order, the Committee is concerned that not all Covenant rights are protected in the State party’s Constitution or laws and hence are not justiciable in courts (art. 1). The Committee recommends that the State party take legislative and other appropriate measures to fully incorporate the Covenant into national laws so as to ensure the applicability of all Covenant rights in domestic courts. It should ensure that legal and judicial training take full account of the justiciability of these rights, and that it promote the use of the Covenant as a source of domestic law. The Committee draws the State party’s attention to its general comment No. 9 (1998) on the domestic application of the Covenant. The judiciary 6. The Committee is concerned about institutional weaknesses in the judiciary, notably the insufficient number of judges despite the increasing workload that leads to protraction of court cases and in turn denial of justice, including in cases on economic, social and cultural rights. The Committee encourages the State party to reinforce the judiciary, including by allocating the necessary resources and increasing the number of judges so that justice can be accessed and achieved without delay. Data collection 7. The Committee regrets the absence of adequate and up-to-date statistics that would allow for an accurate assessment of the fulfilment of economic, social and cultural rights in the State party (art. 2 (1)). 2
