On the basis of the situation encountered during its visit to the country and the conclusions set out above, the WG invites the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea to consider and apply the following recommendations:

r) consider the desirability of an urgent revision of the national criminal law framework, to bring it into line with the 1995 Constitution and the international instruments to which Equatorial Guinea is a State party
r) consider drafting a new criminal code and a new code of criminal procedure in accordance with those instruments; the Criminal Code should establish sentences that correspond to the seriousness of the offences defined, and provide for the possibility of community service and alternatives to imprisonment
r) the possibility of establishing systems of restorative justice should also be examined
r) there is an urgent need for the periodic publication of laws in an official gazette

On the basis of the situation encountered during its visit to the country and the conclusions set out above, the WG invites the Government of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea to consider and apply the following recommendations:

r) the current application procedures for habeas corpus, amparo and constitutional review should be revised and redesigned with a view to making them easier to use and more effective as remedies against violations of constitutional guarantees and human rights, and in particular against arbitrary detention
r) lawyers should be guaranteed free access to police stations in order to be able to interview detainees from the beginning of their detention so that they can exercise these remedies
r) likewise, lawyers’ access to all prisons should be guaranteed
