A/HRC/41/11 provided to them by the Ministry. Also, 14 Roma information centres, which had been run by municipalities, were expected to become part of the social work centres by June 2019. The focus in education was on increasing the number of Roma children at all education levels. Every year 600 Roma children received scholarships. There were about 250 Roma students in university. To improve the living situation of the Roma, a social mapping project was being carried out in 14 municipalities. Following the mapping, their houses would be renovated or assistance would be provided to them to move to new housing through a project supported by the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance. 43. From April to November 2018, there had been an open call for all persons without identification to register in a special electronic registry. At the same time, mobile teams established to find persons without identification had discovered 670 unregistered persons. In 2019, the aim of the Government was to provide unregistered persons with access to education, health protection and employment. To ensure that unregistered persons enjoyed their rights a special law had been drafted and three laws would have to be amended. 44. The State was committed to aligning the definition of torture in the Criminal Code with the definition in the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which would be done as part of the process of amending the Criminal Code that was currently under way. Activities were also continuing to reform the judicial system, with the aim of achieving its impartiality and independence. 45. The amendments to the Law on the Judicial Council and the Law on the Council of Public Prosecutors were of paramount importance. The draft revised law on the judicial council amended the criteria for the evaluation of judges and public prosecutors and redefined the criteria for the appointment of judges and public prosecutors in line with the opinion of the European Commission for Democracy through Law. 46. A number of reforms had been made to improve the transparency of the judicial system. For example, the Judicial-Media Council had been established as a new instrument to promote transparency. 47. A special unit of the Public Prosecutor’s Office dedicated to addressing crimes relating to corruption was making an important contribution to the fight against corruption. In 2017, 29 new high-profile corruption cases had been registered, 23 of which were being handled by the special unit. 48. In November 2018 the Law Amending the Criminal Code had been adopted. In order to prevent hate crimes effectively, through the amendments a definition of hate crime had been introduced into the Criminal Code and elements of hate crime had been incorporated in the definition of other crimes. 49. In coordination with the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of the Interior had been actively involved in the prevention of hatred on the grounds of gender, nationality, religion or sexual orientation, in the media and on the Internet. The unit of the Public Prosecutor’s Office specializing in computer crime and digital forensics also acted upon complaints by non-governmental organizations and individuals. 50. In accordance with the scope of its competencies, in the period 2014–2018 (November) the Ministry of the Interior had registered 46 criminal acts of hatred, for which 59 perpetrators had been reported. 51. In the course of 2018, 29 hate crimes had been recorded, for which 46 perpetrators had been reported, whereas in previous years only 3 to 6 such crimes had been registered annually. 52. It was worth noting that in 2018 four criminal offences of “spreading of racist and xenophobic material through a computer system” had been registered for which four perpetrators had been reported. 53. Trafficking of children with a view to their sexual exploitation, labour exploitation or forced marriage remained the prevailing forms of human trafficking. In 2018, there had been an increase in the identification of victims by State institutions. A specialized State shelter for the care of victims of human trafficking provided safe accommodation and all the services available under the direct help and support programme. 6
