A/HRC/13/56 bringing its legislation into line with international human rights standards had been expressed by the acceptance of all relevant recommendations. 3. General comments made by other relevant stakeholders 447. The European Region of the International Lesbian and Gay Association commended the Government of Albania for having accepted the recommendation to include sexual orientation and gender identity specifically in anti-discrimination legislation. It called for effective implementation of the anti-discrimination law, also with a view to guaranteeing respect for human rights related to sexual orientation and gender identity, and encouraged Albania to establish a commissioner on equality. It also commended Albania for having accepted recommendations relating to human rights education and awareness-raising, including with regard to sexual orientation and gender identity, and asked about steps taken to fulfil this commitment. Lastly, it urged the Government to accept the recommendation to consider applying the Yogyakarta Principles on the application of international human rights law in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity as a guide to assist in policy development. 448. Amnesty International welcomed Albania’s support for many recommendations made in the Working Group, including the recommendation to promote the enforcement of the Law on Gender Equality and Domestic Violence and increase public awareness in this regard, to implement the Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children and to take further measures to protect the human rights of children leaving care. It expressed particular concern about the situation of orphans and other young people after leaving care and called on Albania to increase protection for them, including by ensuring that they had access to adequate housing. It regretted Albania’s rejection of two recommendations on the prohibition of corporal punishment of children as a disciplinary method, noting that, according to press reports, a free national child line opened in 2009 received about 400 calls a day from children reporting ill-treatment. In the light of information that physical and psychological violence was still often regarded in Albania as having a positive effect on a child’s education and development, Amnesty International urged Albania to review the two recommendations. 4. Concluding remarks of the State under review 449. The delegation of Albania stated that recommendation 13 by the United States of America on the media monitoring body had been accepted, as well as recommendations 9 by Belgium and 11 by Slovenia on the independence of the judiciary. The delegation also noted that Albanian anti-corruption legislation and policies were among the best. Albania would, however, continue its efforts on this issue as well as in the fight against organized crime. Additional information on minorities, child rights, anti-discrimination policies and legislation on domestic violence was provided. Democratic Republic of the Congo 450.
