A/HRC/10/29 defended by it, namely that human rights and duties were indivisible and must be promoted conjointly. It indicated that the concept of human duty had been long forgotten by the Council, and requested Burkina Faso to assist in the adoption of a draft universal declaration on the duties of the human being. It expressed the hope that Burkina Faso would spare no effort to implement the conclusions and recommendations formulated during the course of the dialogue. (d) Concluding remarks of the State under review 593. Burkina Faso reiterated its thanks to the members of the troika — Madagascar, Qatar and Switzerland — and to all States and stakeholders that had participated in the discussion. It reaffirmed the will of Burkina Faso to implement the recommendations it accepted mentioned in the Working Group report. 594. Owing to time constraints, Burkina Faso referred some States and stakeholders to its national report (A/HRC/WG.6/3/BFA/1) and to the Working Group report (A/HRC/10/80 and A/HRC/10/80/Corr.1). As to the recommendation of issuing a standing invitation to special procedures mandate holders, Burkina Faso had always cooperated with the special procedures and the African special mechanisms and would always carefully consider such invitations. As to mismanagement of the agricultural campaign, Burkina Faso indicated that the crop season had been excellent and managed to the full satisfaction of rural workers and farmers. With regard to freedom of the press, Burkina Faso reaffirmed that the freedom of the press was recognized and respected. Regarding death threats to journalists and reporters issued on the Internet, Burkina Faso indicated that it was doing its best to find the culprits and that it would appreciate any information in this regard. As to the abolition of the death penalty, Burkina Faso indicated that it was currently under study and believed that, at the next universal periodic review, it would have already become a de jure abolitionist State. 595. Burkina Faso stated that the universal periodic review was an important stage in the ongoing and irreversible human rights process. It underscored that Burkina Faso was ready to hold discussion with all stakeholders to make progress in human rights and was open to all criticism and constructive proposals. 596. Burkina Faso reiterated its commitment to permanently and irreversibly promote and protect human rights. Together with the support of the international community and the civil society, Burkina Faso was convinced that human rights would progressively develop in their effectiveness. Therefore, it asked the Council for technical assistance, in particular regarding the implementation of the rights to education, including human rights education; health and sanitation; housing; information to rural populations; capacity strengthening of the Ministry of Justice in order to improve prison conditions, even though enormous efforts had already been made to make the judiciary independent; the rights of women and children; and the rights of persons with disabilities. 597. Burkina Faso added that it was already cooperating with other countries in the region to combat trafficking and sexual exploitation of children, and that concrete measures had been taken to fight this scourge. Burkina Faso had ratified various international human rights instruments in that regard and its national law already sanctioned trafficking in children. 13. Cape Verde 598.
