A/HRC/8/38 Page 15 75. The Dominican Republic noted efforts to re-establish an institutional legal framework in accordance with the Peace Agreement. Referring to the ongoing activities with regard to the training of judges and judicial officers and the creation of mobile courts, it asked whether there were plans to extend the establishment of mobile courts to rural areas, which would allow access by low-income populations living in isolated areas, and encouraged the Government to continue these good practices. 76. Jordan commended the ongoing efforts to reverse the negative impact of the past conflict and to improve human rights in Guatemala and its fruitful cooperation with OHCHR, including its intention to extend this cooperation. It expressed hope that the Government will continue its efforts, including through strengthening its cooperation with stakeholders and responding to the recommendations of relevant human rights mechanisms. It asked what steps the Government had taken to better implement the Framework Law, particularly the Agreement on Identity and Rights of Indigenous People. It recommended that the Government take the necessary measures to ensure the effective participation of indigenous peoples in public and political life, including through implementation of the relevant recommendations of human rights treaty bodies and special procedures. 77. Norway drew attention, inter alia, to the number and intensity of attacks against human rights defenders as reported by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and asked about further steps to ensure a reduction in the attacks on human rights defenders and to bring the perpetrators of such attacks to justice, and recommended that such steps be taken. Norway also referred to the recommendations of CERD regarding community radio stations reaching the largest possible number of indigenous communities. It recommended reform of the law on radio communication in order to guarantee the proper and free functioning of local radios. 78. Guatemala responded to questions concerning its national programme for compensation for the victims of the internal conflict. It has restructured the State budget to allow for comprehensive compensation in financial, cultural, legal and psychosocial terms. There is also an internal system to establish a national registry of victims. 79. Concerning budgetary allocation in the field of human rights, Guatemala has increased the budget for the Procuraduria for Human Rights by 46.78 per cent and allocated other resources for the Presidential Commission for Human Rights, the Defenders Office for Indigenous Women, the National Compensation Programme, the National Institute for Forensic Science and for the Secretariat for Indigenous Affairs. 80. On the subject of children living and working on the street and their possible exploitation by “maras” or youth gangs, Guatemala has a plan to protect children at risk and prevent them from becoming street children. An institutional unit offers programmes for economic assistance for education and fellowships for young people. Likewise, a national policy on prevention of violence is carried out at the municipal level. 81. Regarding migrants and foreigners, Guatemala was working on a policy which includes the creation of accommodation centres for migrants bearing in mind their human rights. Human rights are also considered in cases of deportation. On this issue, Guatemala is keen to present its initial report to the Committee on Migrant Workers. 82. Regarding the protection of human rights defenders and of members of the judiciary, action is taken through international mechanisms, mainly from the Inter-American and the United Nations systems. At the national level, protection for these persons is provided by the civil national police and through measures discussed above.
