A/HRC/43/15/Add.1 women are granted additional health services, and the same holds for other applicants, if so decided by a special commission. Children (under 18) have access to the same health services as granted to children who are citizens of Slovenia. Noted recommendations 5. For the time being, the Government notes recommendations 122.2-10, 122.13, 122.21, 122.25-26, 122.29, 122.42, 122.54-55, 122.58-59, 122.61, 122.67, 122.77, 122.118120, 122.127, 122.132, 122.147, 122.149, 122.151, 122.153, 122.155, 122.157. The Government wishes to provide the following additional information. 122.2–4 The ratification of the Convention is not a priority for Slovenia, since the current legislation already guarantees migrant workers and their family members in the labour market and most of the rights enshrined in the Convention and reflects the objectives of the Convention. The rights of migrants are also protected by the existing EU legislation. 122.5–9 The ratification of the convention is not a priority. The essential elements of the Convention are included in the Citizenship of the Republic of Slovenia Act. 122.10 The ratification of the convention is not a priority, since the protection granted by the current legislation ensures full protection also to domestic workers. 122.13 The Government deems that no change is necessary in the public finance legislation. Since it is a public body, the Ombudsman is funded by the national budget, but remains fully independent and autonomous. 122.21 The recommendation is incomprehensible. 122.25–26 Slovenia does not deem this a priority since Slovenia already has sector specific legislation which together constitutes an integrated approach against all forms of discrimination. 122.29 Slovenia does not see the need for legislative changes since the Protection Against Discrimination Act includes a definition of severe forms of discrimination, namely multiple discrimination, mass discrimination, continuous or repeated discrimination, and discrimination which has or might have consequences for the discriminated person that would be difficult to remedy in terms of damage caused to the person's legal status, rights or obligations, particularly if it affects children or other vulnerable persons. 122.42 The Criminal Code of Slovenia already criminalises hate speech in Article 297 (public incitement to hatred, violence and intolerance). 122.54 Slovenia considers this recommendation implemented. We do not see the need to change the criminal justice system as it adequately addresses this type of criminal offences. See also recommendation 122.42 above. 6
