2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
52. The Committee calls for the realization of substantive gender equality, in
accordance with the provisions of the Convention, throughout the process of
implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Dissemination
53. The Committee requests the State party to ensure the timely
dissemination of the present concluding observations, in the official languages
of the State party, to the relevant State institutions at all levels (national,
regional and local), in particular to the Government, the ministries, the
parliament and the judiciary, to enable their full implementation.
Technical assistance
54. The Committee recommends that the State party link the implementation
of the Convention to its development efforts and that it avail itself of regional
or international technical assistance in this respect.
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 consider ratifying
the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforc ed
Disappearance, to which it is not yet a party.

written information on the steps taken to implement the recommendations
contained in paragraphs 26 (a) and (b) and paragraph 40 above.
Preparation of the next report
57. The Committee invites the State party to submit its ninth periodic report
in July 2020.
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 (HRI/GEN/2/Rev.6, chap. I).
