AREAS OF CONCERN AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A. General measures of implementation
5. The Committee commends the Government of the Republic of Senegal for
its progress in bringing domestic law into compliance with the African
Children’s Charter. However, the Committee remains concerned by the
delay to officially adopt the draft Children’s Code and other relevant bills.
6. The Committee, while appreciating the effort that the Government has put in
place, recommends that the Government of Senegal should take all the
necessary measures to fully implement the 2011 recommendations of the
ACERWC.
7. While appreciating the translation of certain provisions of the African
children’s Charter and the Convention on the Rights of the Child into Wolof
by the Association of Senegalese Jurists, the Committee recommends the
state party to translate all international instruments and all other texts
relating to the rights of the child into national languages. The Committee
also recommends the State Party to integrate child rights education in the
school curriculum and that all the government officials be educated on
children's rights.
