Pursuant to article 2 (3) (a) of the Covenant, the State party is under an obligation to
provide the author with an effective remedy. This requires it to make full reparation to
individuals whose Covenant rights have been violated. In the present case, the State party is
under the obligation to provide adequate compensation to the author for the violations
suffered by his son. The State party is also obligated, inter alia, to take all steps necessary to
prevent similar violations from occurring in the future.

Bearing in mind that, by becoming a party to the Optional Protocol, the State party
has recognized the competence of the Committee to determine whether there has been a
violation of the Covenant and that, pursuant to article 2 of the Covenant, the State party has
undertaken to ensure to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the
rights recognized in the Covenant and to provide an effective and enforceable remedy when
it has been determined that a violation has occurred, the Committee wishes to receive from
the State party, within 180 days, information about the measures taken to give effect to the
Committee’s Views. The State party is also requested to publish the present Views and to
have them widely disseminated in the official languages of the State party.
