A/HRC/32/10 116. The Faroe Islands had begun to look into different national monitoring mechanisms in the field of human rights that would be appropriate for Faroese society and that were in accordance with the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles). 117. In Greenland, a mobile task force had been set up to help adults cope with psychological complications resulting from abuse in childhood. Corporal punishment of children was expected to be fully abolished by legislation adopted in 2016. A shelter had opened offering nationwide crisis and treatment services for battered women and their children. Two surveys addressing the extent of sexual abuse in Greenland would strengthen initiatives and actions in response to sexual abuse. Education was a priority in Greenland, which was making substantial investments in it, including with financial support from the European Union. Denmark had only one indigenous people according to the definition contained in the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169) — the Inuits. That did not mean, however, that the Inughuit of Uummannaq were not capable of maintaining their identity and the use of their own language. 118. Denmark would remain vigilant in its work to promote and protect human rights and to actively contribute to improving the rights of people around the world.
