A/HRC/12/50 617. Action Canada for Population and Development urged the Government to implement the Ohrid framework agreement fully, especially with respect to Roma communities. It also urged the Government to prioritize the formulation of an antidiscrimination legal framework and the strengthening of administrative structures to sanction any form of discrimination. It called attention to the fact that shelter centres for victims of domestic violence remained inaccessible for Roma girls under the age of 18 who suffered violence based on early and/or arranged marriages within their families. With regard to the Kosovo Roma refugees, it expressed concern that the process of granting asylum was not fully gender-sensitive. It reported that there were cases of women who suffered the worst forms of gender-based violence, to the families of which the asylum status was denied. Concerning the situation of begging Roma children, it urged the Government to introduce affirmative measures to eliminate begging. Almost half of those children had problems of addiction and were thus in conflict with the law. It also strongly urged the Government to, inter alia, consider an amnesty for all children under the age of 16 years for whom the State did not offer programmes to combat their addictions. 4. Concluding remarks of the State under review 618. In her concluding remarks, the head of the delegation indicated that all suggestions had been duly taken into account. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia acknowledged that improvement was always possible in relation to human rights and was living up to that belief. The country had developed a tolerant society, with its own specificities. It was also seeking to resolve its difficulties and was open to any further discussion on the issues raised by delegations. The universal periodic review process, in which the entire Government was fully involved, was an excellent opportunity to assess achievements, in terms of both national and international commitments, and to see where the country stood on a number of issues. The delegation reiterated that the recommendations would serve as useful guide in policy design and action on human rights, and the recommendations and suggestions given would be included therein. The State would continue to cooperate fully and engage with the review process in the future. Comoros 619.
