Cultural rights 26. The Committee regrets the low proportion of the State budget that is allocated for scientific development and the promotion and protection of cultural rights. It is also concerned at the lack of an independent oversight mechanism for the Fund for Minorities to oversee the implementation of activities and the allocation of funds (art. 15). The Committee recommends that the State party consider increasing the budget allocated for scientific development and the promotion and protection of cultural rights. It also encourages the State party to establish an effective oversight mechanism for the Fund for Minorities to oversee the implementation of activities and the allocation of funds. D. Other recommendations 27. The Committee encourages the State party to consider ratifying the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. 28. The Committee recommends that all future national plans, programmes and strategies addressing a wide range of economic, social and cultural rights provide for built-in monitoring and assessment mechanisms with a view to ensuring that interim results are available at any stage of their implementation in practice and that such plans, programmes and strategies be adjusted according to the needs. 29. The Committee requests the State party to disseminate the present concluding observations widely among all levels of society, particularly among government officials, members of Parliament, judicial authorities and civil society organizations, and to inform the Committee, in its next periodic report, on all steps taken to implement them. It also encourages the State party to engage non-governmental organizations and other members of civil society in the process of discussion at the national level prior to the submission of its next periodic report. 30.
