Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome 342. Slovenia was pleased to address the Council on the adoption of the outcome document of its first review, noting that its commitment to the universal periodic review process had been demonstrated by, inter alia, the decision to have the delegation led by a person of ministerial rank. The preparation of the national report had been a comprehensive exercise involving all relevant ministries and Government offices, as well as civil society. Slovenia had viewed the process as an opportunity to take stock of its human rights situation; the dialogue had enabled it to compare its assessment of the situation with that made by other States Members of the United Nations. 343. With regard to the recommendations made, Slovenia had decided to take them back to Ljubljana for consideration and to provide a response to each individually. Accordingly, the addendum to the report of the Working Group was submitted to OHCHR on 19 March 2010. 344.
