E/C.12/CHN/CO/2 party to undertake information campaigns in order to increase public awareness, and to provide training to law enforcement officials and judges on the serious and criminal nature of domestic violence. Poverty reduction and economic, social and cultural rights in remote areas 28. The Committee remains concerned that, despite the significant progress made by the State party in alleviating poverty, large disparities in living standards between regions and between urban and rural areas still persist. The Committee is also concerned about the poor living conditions of rural-to-urban migrants (art. 11). The Committee recommends that the State party, in implementing the New Outline for Development-Oriented Poverty Reduction Program for China’s Rural Area, pay particular attention to shortfalls and the differentials existing between the regions, as well as between urban and rural areas. The Committee also recommends that the State party ensure that poverty reduction programmes prioritize and allocate sufficient resources to alleviate the poverty of rural-to-urban migrants. The Committee requests the State party to include in its next periodic report disaggregated and comparative data by year and urban region, as well as indicators on the number of persons living in poverty, and on the progress made in its efforts to combat poverty. Right to adequate food 29. The Committee is concerned about the situation of food insecurity in some of the poor rural areas, particularly in the western mountainous areas, and about the persistence of child malnutrition, mainly in rural areas and in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Despite the efforts made by the State party to strengthen food safety supervision, including through the adoption of the Food Safety Law, the Committee remains concerned about the shortcomings in the implementation of that Law (art. 11). The Committee urges the State party to strengthen its efforts to protect the right to adequate food. The Committee recommends that the State party step up its efforts to address effectively the situation of food insecurity and child malnutrition in poor rural areas, particularly in the western mountainous areas and in the Tibet Autonomous Region. The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to enforce the Food Safety Law effectively, to strengthen its efforts with regard to food safety supervision and to ensure the production, processing, distribution, marketing and consumption of safe food. The Committee draws the State party’s attention to its general comment No. 12 (1999) on the right to adequate food and to the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on the right to food (A/HRC/19/59/Add.1, paras. 40–46). Forced evictions 30. The Committee regrets that the State party has failed in implementing its previous recommendation (E/C.12/1/Add.107, para. 61) and is seriously concerned about the information received on the thousands of forced evictions carried out with inadequate or no notice in the State party. While noting the adoption of the 2011 Regulations on the Expropriation of Houses on State-owned Land and Compensation, prohibiting the use of violence and granting urban home-owners facing eviction the rights to consultation and informed consent, adequate compensation and effective legal remedies, the Committee remains concerned about the lack of effective implementation of those regulations (art. 11). The Committee urges the State party to immediately take all necessary measures to cease all expropriations that do not fully comply with the established international 9
