Stresses the importance of strict adherence by States parties to their obligations under the Convention regarding the financing of the Committee against Torture and urges States parties whose arrears predate the provisions made by the Secretary-General for financing the Committee from the regular budget to fulfil their obligations forthwith; welcomes the attention that the Committee against Torture has given to the development of an effective system of reporting on the implementation of the Convention by States parties, and especially its revision of its general guidelines for the submission of reports by States parties, as well as its practice of forumulating concluding observations after the consideration of such reports; invites donor countries and developing countries that so agree to consider including in their bilateral development cooperation programmes and projects relating to the training of armed forces and police personnel in matters relating to the protection of human rights and the prevention of torture.
