A/HRC/10/29 services, and that more detailed information on that could be found in the national report to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. 568. Turkmenistan stated that all recommendations submitted by the delegations and international organizations at the review of Turkmenistan would be borne in mind in its future work aimed at progressively developing a human rights system. 12. Burkina Faso 569. The review of Burkina Faso was held on 9 December 2008 in conformity with all the relevant provisions contained in Council resolution 5/1, and was based on the national report submitted by Burkina Faso in accordance with the annex to Council resolution 5/1, paragraph 15 (a) (A/HRC/WG.6/3/BFA/1); the compilation prepared by OHCHR in accordance with paragraph 15 (b) (A/HRC/WG.6/3/BFA/2); and the summary prepared by OHCHR in accordance with paragraph 15 (c) (A/HRC/WG.6/3/BFA/3). 570. At the 30th plenary meeting, on 19 March 2009, the Council considered and adopted the outcome of the review on Burkina Faso (see section C below). 571. The outcome of the review on Burkina Faso comprises the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/10/80 and A/HRC/10/80/Corr.1), the views of Burkina Faso concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, and its voluntary commitments and replies presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary to questions or issues that were not sufficiently addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group. (a) Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions as well as on its voluntary commitments and on the outcome 572. Burkina Faso thanked States for their participation in the interactive dialogue with the President of the Council, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, members of the troika and the secretariat of the Council. Burkina Faso noted that, during the interactive dialogue, most of the recommendations had been accepted and that replies had been given to the concerns expressed, although some issues would require further clarification. 573. With respect to adopting legislation to bring its national human rights institution into line with the Paris Principles, Burkina Faso indicated that there was currently a draft law being reviewed by the Council of Ministers before its introduction before Parliament. 574. Numerous recommendations called for the abolition of the death penalty and the ratification of the second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights abolishing the death penalty. Agreeing to the need to abolish the death penalty and recalling that Burkina Faso was a de facto abolitionist country, it noted that it currently favoured the sensitization of elected representatives in order to guarantee the adoption of the draft law. 575. With regard to the concerns about the extrajudicial executions in Balporé and Piéla, Burkina Faso explained that legal procedures had been initiated and were under way, and that some people, including policemen, had been indicted. It wished, however, to avoid confusing the normal course of justice and impunity, which is when there is no action by the State. 576. Concerning the recommendations on legislative, administrative and other measures to be taken to combat violence against women and girls, Burkina Faso highlighted that such measures already existed and were implemented. Burkina Faso intended to strengthen these measures and step up its awareness-raising programme in order to root out harmful traditional practices, which still impede the full development of women of Burkina Faso.
