18. 缔约国应采取有效步骤，确保在实践中通过酷刑或虐待获得的供词是不被采信的。它还应改进法官和检察官的职业培训方案，以确保他们有能力识别酷刑和虐待，并调查所有关于此类行为的指控。缔约国还应向委员会提供关于任何刑讯逼供获得的证词不被采信的案件的详细资料，并说明是否有任何官员因获得此类证词而受到起诉和惩罚。
18. The State party should take effective steps to ensure in practice that confessions obtained under torture or ill-treatment are ruled inadmissible. It should also expand vocational training programmes for both judges and prosecutors so as to ensure their ability to identify torture and ill-treatment and investigate all allegations of such acts. The State party should also provide the Committee with detailed information on any cases in which confessions were deemed inadmissible on the grounds that they were obtained through torture and indicate whether any officials have been prosecuted and punished for extracting such confessions.
