E/C.12/1/Add.65 page 4 22. The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen the provisions in its legal order with respect to the prohibition of discrimination in accordance with article 2 (2) of the Covenant, in particular on the grounds of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Recalling the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials (General Assembly resolution 34/169), the State party should take all necessary steps to prevent incidents of racially motivated ill-treatment and ensure that timely and thorough investigations and effective prosecutions are carried out. 23. The Committee calls upon the State party to take all effective legal measures to prohibit gender discrimination in all fields of civil, political, economic, social and cultural life. 24. The Committee recommends that the State party include in subsequent reports comparative data on levels of employment, including the representation of women at the various administrative levels, and in areas such as law enforcement, the legal profession and the judiciary, stressing the progress made during the reporting period. 25. The Committee calls upon the State party to ensure that employees are remunerated in a timely manner and that legislation on minimum wages is fully enforced. 26. The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that adequate resources are allocated for workplace accident prevention programmes, and that it continue to strengthen the resources and powers of the labour inspectorate. The Committee recommends that the State party consider ratifying the ILO Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81). 27. The Committee emphasizes that the right of trade unions to function freely shall be subject to no restrictions, other than those prescribed by law and which are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public order or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. The Committee requests the State party to ensure that such restrictions contained in the labour law are fully in line with article 8 of the Covenant, and that acts of intimidation against trade unions and their leaders are prohibited. 28. The Committee recommends that the State party adopt all appropriate measures to prevent and combat incidents of domestic violence and sexual harassment, as well as appropriate measures to reduce unemployment among women. 29. The Committee encourages the State party to strengthen its efforts to combat the trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of women and children. It recommends that the State party vigorously pursue the enforcement of criminal laws in this regard; ensure that victims are not penalized and are provided with rehabilitation; ensure that the National Coordination Council against Trafficking is adequately resourced and staffed; and reinforce its cooperation with international and regional organizations, as well as on a bilateral basis. The Committee recommends that the State party, in its fifth periodic report, provide full information on the trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of women and children, including data on the scale of the phenomenon.
