A/HRC/8/31 Page 13 affected, as in the cases of honour-related crimes. For that reason, she stated that at present its policy is gender neutral. However, and partly due to the recommendations made by treaty bodies and the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, the Government is considering whether a gender-specific formulation of policy is advisable. 60. On the issue of trafficking and the position and abuse of women, the State Secretary of Justice gave the example of recent prosecutions of traffickers between Nigeria and the Netherlands, due to cooperation with Nigeria on this issue. 61. Regarding anti-discrimination policy, the State Secretary of Justice referred to the report of the Netherlands to CERD submitted in November 2007, which includes information on its anti-racist policy. She added that while the action plan does not include any actions vis-à-vis the Human Rights Council, the Netherlands does envisage promoting a draft European Union policy which will include human rights assessments. She indicated that it will try to make the full action plan available to the Human Rights Council, as was the case with the underlying strategy. 62. The State Secretary of Justice indicated that the Netherlands secures rights to social security to both legal and illegal migrants. Certain basic needs of illegal migrants are secured, but it would go too far to bring the level of access to social rights of illegal migrants to the same level as those of legal migrants. This position is well known in the United Nations. It added that undocumented migrants have access to education, legal aid, and health. The Netherlands has also adjusted to provide allowances for victims of domestic violence. She indicated that the National Minister for Youth and Family deals with how to strengthen family values, and issued a youth and family programme. Regarding euthanasia, she indicated that the United Nations has recommended a regular evaluation of the Act. Such an evaluation process already exists and we have followed it. The 2007 report can be made available for all; it basically shows that the Netherlands meets the three key aims of the act namely to ensure social control, guarantee quality medical decisions at the end of life, and provide certainties for medical personnel. 63. Mexico asked how the objections of the Netherlands with regard to certain rights provided in the ICRMW, as explained by the Netherlands, are compatible with the principle of universality of human rights, specifically in the case of acquired rights. It further asked about legislation to prevent discrimination, and whether it covers all inhabitants/citizens of the Netherlands, including undocumented migrants, and those of Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles. Mexico recommended that the Netherlands review its legislation in order to protect fundamental rights of all persons, independently of their migrant status. It also recommended that necessary measures be taken regarding discrimination against women refugees, migrants and women from ethnic groups, and to guarantee the integration of all female children. With regard to asylum procedures, it requested details about the accelerated procedure of 48 hours. Mexico also recommended establishing or strengthening the machinery for reviewing the accelerated procedure in order to guarantee the rights of the asylum-seekers. 64. Israel was interested in the multi-pronged methodology that the Government has implemented to tackle trafficking in persons, including the establishment of the post of a National Rapporteur on Trafficking in 2000. It invited the Netherlands to share its views on the effectiveness of this approach, and asked about the interplay between these mechanisms and how duplication would be avoided. Israel also wanted to know which enforcement responsibilities were available to these institutions and asked for an assessment of concrete and tangible results in combating trafficking in the last eight years. 65. With reference to respective parts of the compilation and summary reports prepared by OHCHR, Algeria recommended that the Netherlands include information on the implementation of
