A/HRC/23/10 and its Optional Protocol, as well as the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography. Ratification procedures were also under way for the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. 26. In addition, the Minister for Foreign Affairs had deposited the instruments of ratification of the amendments made to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court by the Review Conference of the Rome Statute, held in Kampala. Luxembourg had demonstrated its strong commitment to fighting impunity by becoming the fourth State to ratify all of the amendments made to the Rome Statute by the Review Conference. All of those provisions had already been incorporated into domestic criminal law. Luxembourg hoped that its ratification of those amendments would encourage other States parties to rapidly follow suit. 27. Some 44 per cent of the country’s total population of approximately 525,000 were foreigners, and some 160,000 frontier workers crossed the border every day. Nationals of more than 170 countries lived in Luxembourg. Luxembourg recognized that such diversity was a challenge, but it was also a vital source of cultural enrichment. Over the last few decades, Luxembourg had become a State in which people from all over the world lived together. Manifestations of intolerance or racism were rare. 28. A significant step aimed at facilitating integration into the national community was the introduction of dual nationality in 2008. Dual nationality allowed persons who had decided to settle permanently in Luxembourg to acquire the country’s citizenship and to demonstrate their attachment to it and willingness to integrate, while at the same time maintaining a link with their country and culture of origin by keeping their original nationality. 29. Efforts to promote equality between men and women and to combat gender discrimination were bearing fruit: the participation rate of women in political office and in the labour market was constantly increasing, while the wage gap between men and women was decreasing. 30. Furthermore, Luxembourg was resolutely pursuing its international commitment to human rights and the link between human rights and development cooperation by allocating 1 per cent of its gross national income to official development assistance, despite the financial constraints it currently faced. That effort contributed to the effective enjoyment of human rights in developing countries, particularly in the area of economic, social and cultural rights. 31. Like all other United Nations Member States, Luxembourg was not above criticism, and its international commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights did not obviate the need for it to make the same efforts at home that it expected of others. B. Interactive dialogue and responses by the State under review 32. During the interactive dialogue, 61 delegations made statements. Recommendations made during the dialogue are to be found in section II of the present report. 33. Turkey noted the significant advances that Luxembourg had made through the introduction of the new Law on Nationality. Government initiatives to discuss religious pluralism and secularization were also commendable. It considered that the same right granted to European Union nationals who had resided in Luxembourg for at least five years to participate in regional elections should be extended to all foreign nationals. It made recommendations. 6 GE.13-12572
