5. 委员会注意到缔约国称，没有援引《公约》的法院裁决是因为《公约》的主要条款已纳入国内法，但委员会仍感关切的是，法院裁决没有援引未被纳入国内法的《公约》条款，也没有援引委员会的解释和具体建议，例如与关于行使集会自由和表达自由的法规有关的解释和具体建议。鉴此并注意到委员会的《意见》没有广泛散发，委员会感到关切的是，政府官员、法官、检察官和律师对《公约》的认识和了解仍然有限(第二条)。
5. While noting the State party’s argument that the absence of court decisions referring to the Covenant stems from the incorporation of the main provisions of the Covenant into domestic law, the Committee remains concerned about the lack of reference to provisions of the Covenant that have not been incorporated, and to the interpretations and specific recommendations of the Committee relating, for example, to the regulation of the exercise of freedom of assembly and freedom of expression. In view of this, and noting that the Committee’s Views are not widely circulated, the Committee is concerned that awareness and knowledge about the Covenant among government officials, judges, prosecutors and lawyers remains limited (art. 2).
