33. In the light of articles 7 and 8, the Committee reiterates its previous recommendation (CRC/C/15/Add.170, para. 41), and calls upon the State party to strengthen all necessary measures to ensure that:
(a) All children are duly registered at birth, including through improvement of the provision of information on, and easier access to, birth registration facilities; and
(b) All children, especially those from disadvantaged groups, are able to be registered under, and make use of, their full original name as chosen by their parents or other legal guardian.
