A/HRC/8/33 Page 7 Allegedly Roma children have been disproportionately impacted by this policy. Canada requested further clarification on this issue, and recommended that the Czech Republic provide greater support for foster care as an alternative to institutionalization of children. Canada also recommended the ratification of the Rome Statute and the establishment of a national human rights institution in accordance with the Paris Principles. 25. Slovenia thanked the Government for preparing a comprehensive report and also thanked OHCHR for the very useful and comprehensive compilations of relevant information. It noted that the Czech Republic is still not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Slovenia asked, and recommended, what obstacles there were to the ratification of this important international instrument, and if the Czech Republic intended to ratify it in the near future. Slovenia commended the Czech Republic on the adoption of the national action plan entitled “Priorities and procedures of the Government in promoting equality of women and men”, and enquired about the concrete results of this action plan. Slovenia recommended the full integration of a gender perspective in the follow-up of the review process and that the Czech Republic consider using the Yogyakarta Principles on the Application of International Human Rights Law in relation to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity as a guide to assist Czech human rights policies. 26. Azerbaijan welcomed the creation of the post of Government Minister for Human Rights and National Minorities and commended efforts aimed at initiating and coordinating Government action in monitoring the state of human rights in the Czech Republic by means of its Commissioner for Human Rights. It noted that the Czech Republic is a party to six out of the seven core international human rights treaties. It noted the recommendation made by the Committee against Torture to establish an independent complaint system to undertake investigations into offences committed by Czech police personnel. It further noted that new legislation placed crimes committed by police personnel within the competence of the Police Inspection in the Ministry of Interior. The delegation enquired how the Government will address the Committee against Torture recommendation with full respect for impartiality and independence given the composition of the Inspection, which is made up of the same police. Azerbaijan also requested a detailed answer on whether a special supervisory body of the Chamber of Deputies of Parliament that is meant to monitor the Police Inspection has the authority to influence the outcome of inspections. Azerbaijan finally asked if relevant authorities in the Czech Republic considered changing the current definition of rape in the light of definitions of rape in international tribunals and as recommended by CEDAW. 27.
