A/HRC/13/2 Page 14 a very traditional culture, which will take time to wipe out, the Government is committed to addressing this issue. 73. On the issue of human trafficking, the delegation pointed out that there were two aspects to it: migration for economic reasons and illegal trafficking. As concerns economic migrants, while there may have been some anomalies in the past, today Eritrean embassies are all under instructions to extend consular services to all Eritrean migrants wherever they are, regardless of how they have come to those countries. Returnees go straight to their homes upon return, no questions asked. 74. Regarding the question raised on the Special Court, the delegation indicated there is no evidence that this court actually adjudicates on issues or cases outside of its mandate. It was there to root out corruption and was a necessary tool for governance. Experience revealed that there may have been some anomalies at its establishment but it now had established procedures. 75. Replying to the question on non-governmental organizations, the delegation indicated that international non-governmental organizations were allowed to operate in the country. If they did not accept the national law under which they should operate then it was difficult for them to operate in the country. Local non-governmental organizations did fight for the human rights of their members and of society, such as for Eritrean women, students and workers, but they might not be called human rights organizations. Local non-governmental organizations might take a different form from those in other countries, but that did not imply that they did not exist in Eritrea. 76. On the issue of freedom of movement of citizens, the delegation stated that anyone in Eritrea can move freely and work and live where they want, the exception being for those fulfilling national service. 77. The delegation understood it had not responded to all questions and would look at the written statements carefully and respond to them more fully during the plenary of the Council. 78. The delegation concluded by indicating that it had addressed many of the issues raised, and thanked all who had participated in the dialogue and provided assistance. The universal periodic review was a useful exercise. Its broad scope of issues had allowed different officials and experts to look at them in a more comprehensive way. Eritrea was ready to go further with the process of constructive engagement and building a partnership for the consolidation of human rights. II. CONCLUSIONS AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS 79. In the course of the discussion, the following recommendations were made to Eritrea. These recommendations will be examined by Eritrea, which will provide responses in due time.
