A/HRC/10/77 Page 11 that Liechtenstein follow up on its recommendations, namely to put in place a comprehensive policy with the aim of overcoming traditional stereotypes regarding the roles of women and men in society and the family. Also noting the concern of the Committee about the continued underrepresentation of women in elected and appointed bodies, Norway echoed the Committee’s recommendation that special measures be taken to accelerate women’s participation at all levels and in all areas of public life. Norway also wished to learn more about the cooperation of the authorities with non-governmental organizations, in particular with respect to the promotion of gender equality. In relation to the concern expressed by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights that immigrant children tend to perform poorly in school, are likely to attend lower-standard secondary schools and are underrepresented in tertiary education, Norway enquired about measures taken or planned to address this problem, to promote the integration of these children, and to follow up on the relevant Committee’s recommendations. 45. The United Kingdom recommended that Liechtenstein continue to consult stakeholders in its work to follow up the outcome of the present review. Noting the recommendation by the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights that Liechtenstein give serious consideration to the establishment of an ombudsman office, it recommended that Liechtenstein establish such an institution at the earliest opportunity. The United Kingdom welcomed the adoption of the national plan of action against racism and the efforts made to implement the plan, but noted with regret that it is not to be extended beyond its initial five-year timeframe. Therefore, it recommended that Liechtenstein maintain its efforts in this area to ensure full implementation of the plan. 46. China, noting the importance Liechtenstein attaches to gender equality and the progress made in this regard, enquired about the specific difficulties encountered and trends identified for the improvement of women’s participation in political life. China also noted that, to combat violence by extreme right-wing movements, the Government established in 2003 a commission on the prevention of violence; China wished to learn more about the functioning of the commission, the results achieved and the difficulties encountered. 47. Cuba noted that the national report, in particular, describes steps taken to ensure equal opportunity in key areas such as gender equality, disabilities, social inequalities and sexual orientation, as well as those measures aimed at combating all forms of discrimination. The establishment of the commission and the Office of Equal Opportunity represents an important measure in this context. Cuba recommended that Liechtenstein continue efforts to elaborate and implement policies aimed at eliminating all forms of discrimination and ensuring equality and full enjoyment of all human rights for all citizens. 48. Turkey noted that several treaty bodies, including the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance, have expressed concerns about the rise in xenophobic and right-wing tendencies against people of different origins in Liechtenstein. It welcomed the establishment of the Office of Equal Opportunity and its accompanying commission as well as the commission against right-wing extremism. The research undertaken by the Government constitutes an important step to assess the scale and root-causes of this phenomenon. Turkey recommended that Liechtenstein continue to monitor tendencies that may give rise to racist and xenophobic acts, in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and other treaty bodies. It welcomed the establishment of the Working Group for the Integration of Muslims in 2004 to enhance dialogue with the Muslim community, and underlined the fact that such projects are examples of good practices.
