A/HRC/11/37 intrusive and unnecessary restrictions, for example, requiring transgender people to undergo sterilization and hormone treatment to be able to change their official documentation. It recommended that the new law should conform to the Yogyakarta principles on sexual orientation and gender identity. It also recommended that the Government should consult with transgender people to ensure that the new law conformed to their needs. 196. The World Council of Churches commended Germany for having accepted 75 per cent of the recommendations, but noted that a higher rate could have been met. It expressed concern on issues relating to migration and discrimination against migrants. It regretted that migrants did not have all their rights guaranteed, in particular irregular migrants, whose rights to education, health and access to justice were hindered. The right of migrants to live with their families did not exist in the legal framework and the Government of Germany was part of the hard-line faction in the European Union seeking to further restrict this right. Even those living in Germany for years with legal status were threatened with expulsion because of a bureaucratic deadline. The ratification of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families would help improve their rights. It regretted the lack of political will to withdraw Germany’s reservation to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, saying that the argument that the federal system would not allow withdrawal of the reservation without the consent of the federal states was a pretext. It encouraged the Government to unconditionally ratify the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights soon and to declare officially its support for the outcome document of the Durban Review Conference, possibly during the debate on item 9 at the current Council session. 4.
