27. 委员会感到遗憾的是，缔约国在废除死刑和批准《公约第二项任择议定书》方面缺乏进展。委员会仍然感到关切的是，缔约国仍判处和执行死刑，包括在委员会已经发布临时措施的案件中，仍然没有反对最高法院作为初审法院所作的死刑判决的有效上诉机制。委员会感到关切的是，未能对委员会在下文第28 (c)段提及的根据《任择议定书》就七份个人来文通过的《意见》中确定的侵犯行为作出补救，详细情况包括:(a) 违反第十四条规定的公正审判保障，包括获得有效法律代表的权利、无罪推定和由更高一级法庭复审的权利。委员会回顾其这方面的长期判例，即拒绝提供这些基本保障会导致违反《公约》第六条；(b) 死囚及其亲属没有被告知执行死刑日期，被执行者的尸体不归还亲属，埋葬地点也不予披露(《刑罚执行法》第 175 (5)条)，这种情况违反《公约》第七条(第二、第六、第七和第十四条)。
27. The Committee regrets the lack of progress made by the State party towards the abolition of the death penalty and ratification of the Second Optional Protocol to the Covenant. It remains concerned that the death penalty continues to be imposed and enforced, including in cases with regard to which the Committee has issued interim measures, and that there is still no effective appeal mechanism against death sentences handed down by the Supreme Court as a court of first instance. The Committee is concerned about the failure to remedy violations identified in the Views adopted by the Committee in the seven individual communications under the Optional Protocol referred to in para. 28 (c) below, the particulars of which include: (a) Violation of the fair trial guarantees provided for in article 14, which include the right to effective legal representation, the presumption of innocence and the right to review by a higher tribunal. The Committee recalls in this respect its long-standing jurisprudence that denial of these fundamental guarantees leads to a violation of article 6 of the Covenant; (b) Individuals on death row and their relatives not being notified about the date of execution, the body of the executed individuals not being returned to the relatives and the burial site not being disclosed (article 175 (5) of the Penalties Enforcement Code), in violation of article 7 of the Covenant (arts. 2, 6, 7 and 14).
