Azerbaijan stated that El Salvador’s commitment to promoting and protecting human rights through the integration of international human rights standards into its national legislation was commendable. It stated that, in 2006, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights had noted with concern the discrimination faced by women and that, in 2008, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women had expressed concern at the pervasiveness of patriarchal attitudes and deep-rooted stereotypes, which constituted serious obstacles to women’s enjoyment of their human rights. Azerbaijan made a recommendation. 45. The Netherlands welcomed El Salvador’s extension of a standing invitation to all special procedures. It was concerned that, despite measures taken by El Salvador, discrimination against women persisted. It was also concerned at the high incidence of acts of violence against women. The Netherlands noted that reports had indicated that attacks against human rights defenders had gone unpunished, and raised the issue of severe prison overcrowding, which had reportedly led to widespread violence. The Netherlands made recommendations. 46. Brazil congratulated El Salvador on its efforts to promote social inclusion and combat poverty within the framework of a universal social protection system. Brazil expressed concern about reports concerning child labour, particularly in rural areas, and inquired about measures to provide protection for children.

Colombia made recommendations. 49. The delegation of El Salvador reaffirmed its commitment to complying with recommendations of the United Nations treaty bodies and special procedures, including observations made by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights concerning the potential effects of the free-trade agreement, the recent recommendations by the Committee against Torture, and the 2007 recommendations of the working group on enforced disappearances. 50. The delegation highlighted a draft law against gender-based violence that reflected broad participation on the part of civil society. In addition to the adoption of that law, El Salvador recognized the need to develop a more comprehensive policy to deal with the serious problem of violence against women and children. The Government recognized the failure to produce complete, comprehensive national statistics on gender violence and stressed its commitment to develop such a statistical system. El Salvador further underscored the need to allocate special funding for these efforts within the security 8
