A/HRC/13/56 (c) The summary prepared by OHCHR in accordance with paragraph 15 (c) (A/HRC/WG.6/6/COD/3). 451. At its 30th meeting, on 18 March 2010, the Council considered and adopted the outcome of the review on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (see section C below). 452. The outcome of the review on the Democratic Republic of the Congo comprises the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/13/8), the views of Democratic Republic of the Congo concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, and its voluntary commitments and replies presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary to questions or issues that were not sufficiently addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group. 1. Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, as well as on its voluntary commitments and on the outcome 453. The delegation indicated that the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, respectful of its international commitments, had submitted a national report in the context of the universal periodic review. Furthermore, it had already accepted in the Working Group 124 of 163 recommendations made during the review. 454. With regard to the implementation of the recommendations already accepted, the delegation noted that most of the needed legislative reforms would be considered during the parliamentary session to be held between March and June 2010, or at the latest, the September 2010 session, with particular attention paid to the law implementing the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the law on the creation, organization and functioning of the national human rights institution, in accordance with the Paris Principles, the law on parity between men and women, the ongoing reform of the criminal and family codes and the laws allowing ratification of international human rights treaties. 455. Regarding the promotion of peace, the Government had put an end to the Kimia II operation and officially launched the new Amani Leo programme for consolidating peace in the east with the assistance of the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC). This joint operation aimed at bringing under control the remaining resistance to the peace process, with particular attention to the protection of the civilian population. Other operations were under way to bring peace back throughout the territory, such as the Rudia II operation in the eastern province, where the Lord’s Resistance Army continued to violate the fundamental rights of Congolese citizens. 456. The delegation stressed that awareness-raising campaigns on the need to combat sexual violence were still under way in workshops. Mention was made of the campaign jointly put in place with MONUC since January 2010. Impunity for crimes of sexual violence was being fought, and military courts had convicted a number of soldiers and officers found guilty of sexual violence. Ordinary courts were also attempting to combat this scourge; the national agency to combat sexual violence against women and girls set up in 2009 was being put in place. 457. The Government was stepping up efforts to ensure access to education, health and an adequate standard of living, including through the building of hospitals, the improvement of the business climate and the electricity supply, and the progressive increase in remuneration. Efforts to bring an end to the initiative for heavily indebted poor countries were part of the same vision, and resources allocated to debt servicing would be reoriented to programmes to fight poverty with a view to eradicating it. 458. With regard to the fight against the recruitment of children in the army and the rehabilitation of former child soldiers, remarkable progress had been made through the unit for implementation of the national programme for disarmament, demobilization and 147
