Pakistan noted that the Bahamas is party to a number of international human rights instruments and has taken the legislative, judicial and administrative steps to guarantee the promotion and protection of all human rights of its citizens. Pakistan referred to the national report that mentions that appeals from the Bahamas Court of Appeal go to the Privy Council in London. It asked the delegation of the Bahamas to explain the link between the supreme institution of a sovereign State to another institution in another country as well as its utility. Pakistan recommended that the Bahamas consider acceding to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as pledged. Also, it may be given technical assistance it seeks in support of its plans to enhance human rights-related training. 46. Jamaica noted with appreciation that education receives the largest percentage of the national budget on an annual basis and, in particular, that all children residing in the Bahamas are granted free access to education from kindergarten to grade 12. Jamaica also commended the efforts of the Government to ensure the representation of women in decision-making positions in the political sphere and to strengthen domestic legislation to address and prevent trafficking in persons. Jamaica welcomed the statements that the Bahamas is in the process of submitting reports to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the Committee on the Rights of the Child. Furthermore, it welcomed the fact that the Bahamas is in the process of acceding to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. In terms of capacity-building, Jamaica supported the request of the Bahamas for technical assistance in human rights training and urged the international community and OHCHR to facilitate it. 47. Ghana noted that the Bahamas has been an ardent advocate for international struggles against discrimination, and has allowed the participation of civil society in political life since 1950. The national report also indicated that respect for human rights is included in the social studies curriculum of Government-operated schools, and that education receives the largest percentage of the national budget on an annual basis. This notwithstanding, Ghana observed that there are certain constraints affecting the human rights environment, such as the constitutional requirement for a referendum to amend offending provisions of the Constitution which discriminate against women, and the financial difficulties which have led to serious overcrowding at Her Majesty’s prison. Ghana asked with regard to overcrowding if there are provisions which could be made for alternatives to custody, particular for women. Following the explanation of the Government that when women have young babies, they do not stay for more than a week, Ghana asked how the Government addressed the problem generally of convicted women who have babies and who need to stay in prison for longer periods. Ghana recommended that the Bahamas ease prison congestion and its impact on mothers with young children. Ghana also called on the international community to provide the Government with the needed technical assistance to support its plans to enhance human rights-related training. 48. Haiti congratulated the Bahamas on having provided free education to all children in public primary and secondary schools.
