CEDAW/C/MMR/CO/4-5 (b) That the Committee’s previous recommendations CEDAW/C/MMR/CO/3) have not been fully implemented by the State party. 9. (see The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Fully integrate the provisions of the Convention into national law; (b) Intensify existing programmes to raise awareness of the Convention, the Committee’s general recommendations and women’s human rights among relevant stakeholders, including government officials, parliamentarians, legal professionals, law enforcement officers and community leaders; (c) Adopt a national action plan for the implementation of the present concluding observations with clear targets and indicators to ensure effective monitoring and evaluation of progress. Definition of discrimination against women 10. The Committee remains concerned at the lack of a comprehensive definition of discrimination against women, which encompasses both direct and indirect discrimination in both the public and private spheres, in line with article 1 of the Convention. It recalls that the lack of such a definition constitutes an impediment to the full application of the Convention in the State party. 11. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation (see CEDAW/C/MMR/CO/3, para. 9) that the State party urgently adopt a comprehensive definition of discrimination against women in national legislation, such as its anti-discrimination bill, in line with article 1 of the Convention, with a view to ensuring that women are protected against both direct and indirect discrimination in all spheres of life. Women and peace and security 12. The Committee notes the State party’s commendable efforts in seeking to end armed conflict in the State party such as the signing of a nationwide ceasefire agreement between the Government and eight ethnic armed organizations on 15 October 2015. It also notes that the State party is making efforts to enter into a ceasefire agreement with the remaining armed organizations and that a peace conference will be held in August 2016. However, the Committee notes with concern: (a) The absence of a national action plan for the implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions on women and peace and security to guide conflict and post-conflict processes in the State party; (b) The underrepresentation of women in the peace negotiations and post conflict processes. 13. The Committee urges the State party: (a) To give due consideration to the Committee’s general recommendation No. 30 (2013) on women in conflict prevention, conflict and post-conflict situations by developing a comprehensive national action plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security to address all areas of concern in order to ensure durable peace in the State party; 16-12871 3/17
