A/HRC/10/70 Page 15 recommended the abolition of the death penalty and that a moratorium be immediately decreed with respect to all executions. It asked the Bahamas to put en end to corporal punishment in schools and in the home. Article 1.10 of the Penal Code needs to be revised. Haiti requested information on specific measures taken to address allegations of the use of excessive force by security forces, and also asked the Bahamas to provide an explanation for the high levels of reported rapes in the country. 49. Botswana recognized the achievements in establishing an enabling institutional legal framework to ensure the respect and protection of fundamental rights and freedoms in the Bahamas. It commended the Bahamas for successfully ratifying many of the core international human rights instruments, thereby confirming the Government’s commitment. It noted the willingness of the Bahamas to make further attempts at the national level for legislative review with a view to improving existing legislation relating to a cross-cutting array of sectors. By way of recommendation, Botswana joined the others in a goodwill message supporting the Government’s decision to ratify other key human rights treaties, as reflected at paragraph 32 of their national report (the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights). In conclusion, and noting the constraints and challenges alluded to by the Bahamas, Botswana hoped that the international community would extend its goodwill and support to the Government, particularly in human rights training in support of their stated plans and programmes, to fully meet their national and international human rights obligations. 50. Djibouti noted the intention of the Bahamas to give place to the civil society in the national report and regretted that, owing to lack of time, its involvement was not possible. It was encouraged that a frank and constructive dialogue was promoted on the national level in order to find domestic solutions to the country’s problems. The national dialogue and the results of fruitful interaction with treaty bodies have certainly strengthened the Government’s determination to improve existing legislation and to adopt laws. Djibouti asked if these efforts have led to the full respect of the provisions and principles of the Convention of the Rights of the Child and if there is a national plan of action for the effective implementation of the Convention. It noted the concerns of the State with regard to the significant constraints caused by the massive influx of migrants and refugees. It asked whether the allegations of acts of discrimination against refugees and migrants are well founded and, if so, what are the specific actions taken to combat them. Djibouti also asked if there has been any intention to introduce in the criminal legislation aggravating circumstances on the grounds of racial discrimination, as recommended by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Djibouti joined previous delegations in recommending that the State envisage actions to abolish capital punishment. 51. The Bahamas thanked all the delegations for their support for the efforts of the Bahamas in the protection of human rights, and noted that its commitment in that area is entrenched in the Constitution. Over the last 35 years of independence, the Bahamas has made significant progress in the protection of human rights and development of its society. The delegation noted that all recommendations will be given full consideration. However, the Bahamas considered it important to note that the report of the Committee on the Rights of the Child did not suggest as a fact that there was widespread prostitution and that there are children involved in child pornography in the Bahamas, but commented on the lack of specific data on the issue. The delegation stressed that the Committee had asked the Bahamas to take measures to acquire data, but it did not suggest that the Bahamas is a haven for child prostitution or child pornography. To the extent these issues are a problem, the delegation assured that the protection of the child is the utmost concern. In this regard, the Bahamas recently passed legislation to make it an offence to
