opportunity to increase national coverage and improve data quality and
timeliness through the digitalisation of civil registration systems.

The
Commission recalls that, with regards to the promotion and protection of the
right to identity, the human rights that require States to ensure the
registration of civil status acts include the right to register birth,
marriage, divorce, death and the right to notify a stillbirth.
The
Commission remains concerned about the negligence of some parents and citizens
in registering their civil status within the legal deadlines, as soon as they
occur preferring to actively contribute for death celebration which have no
influence on the fate of the deceased.
The
Commission is equally concerned by the lack of interest shown by some civil
registrars in mobilising communities within its territorial jurisdiction to
register civil status acts.
The
Commission is especially concerned that some of its recommendations on civil
registration are still to be implemented.
