CEDAW/C/BRB/CO/5-8
Ratification of other treaties
55. The Committee notes that the adherence of the State party to the nine
major international human rights instruments 1 would enhance the enjoyment
by women of their human rights and fundamental freedoms in all aspects of
life. The Committee therefore encourages the State party to ratify the
Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment or Punishment; the International Convention on the Protection of
the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families; and the
International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced
Disappearance; to which it is not yet a party.
Follow-up to the concluding observations
56. The Committee requests the State party to provide, within two years,
written information on the steps taken to implement the recommendations
contained in paragraphs 12 (c), 14 (a) and (b) and 34 (c) above.
Preparation of the next report
57. The Committee invites the State party to submit its ninth periodic report,
which is due in July 2021. The report should be submitted on time and, in case
of delay, cover the entire period up to the time of its submission.
58. The Committee requests the State party to follow the harmonized
guidelines on reporting under the international human rights treaties,
including guidelines on a common core document and treaty-specific
documents (see HRI/GEN/2/Rev.6, chap. I).
