The Committee also found violations of Article 24 of the ICCPR, which affords special protections to minors (id. at para. 6.5), and Article 2 of the ICCPR, which requires state parties to ensure that effective remedies exist for violations of protected rights (id. at para. 6.6). The Committee held that Peru should furnish K.L. with an effective remedy, including compensation, and should establish procedures so the similar violations do not occur in the future. Id. at para. 6.8.
