A/HRC/10/77 Page 9 consider the possibility of ratifying the Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance and accept the jurisdiction of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances. 33. The Russian Federation recommended that Liechtenstein, as suggested by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, consider establishing an independent national human rights institution, in accordance with the Paris Principles. The Russian Federation, also stressing the concerns expressed by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women that too many women are either unemployed or occupy low key posts, recommended that Liechtenstein enhance efforts to ensure equality of opportunity for women and men in the labour market. 34. Switzerland referred to the national report, which mentioned efforts made by Liechtenstein to achieve de facto equality between women and men. However, paragraph 76 (a) of the report also referred to de jure discrimination in the area of inheritance. Switzerland asked whether the authorities plan to amend the inheritance law to ensure equality of treatment between women and men. It recommended that Liechtenstein introduce ex-officio prosecution for all acts of domestic violence and that it pursue its work to draft and enact a law allowing registered partnerships for same-sex couples. 35. Responding to the issues raised, Liechtenstein remarked on the issue of equality between men and women. In 1984, Liechtenstein introduced the right of women to vote and to be elected only. As stressed previously, the State hoped that women would have greater representation in Parliament after the 2009 elections and that more women would enter the five-member Government, which presently comprises only one woman. 36. The issue of gender equality is taken very seriously. The Office of Equal Opportunity covers all rights of women. Responding to a question raised by Switzerland, the delegation explained that there is no de jure discrimination against women in the area of inheritance, but that a case of potential de facto discrimination is currently the subject of an expert study mandated by the Ministry of Justice. The study is being undertaken while a reform to the inheritance law has been initiated, with the aim to, inter alia, improve the rights of surviving spouses. The Government is also considering ways of allowing de facto and same-sex couples to benefit from the right to inheritance. 37. Liechtenstein has elaborated a comprehensive policy and has taken measures to overcome stereotypes by raising awareness of gender equality. Workshops conducted in schools aim at shaping attitudes through the positive identification of young people with historic female figures. Another goal is to raise awareness about the long-lasting oppression of women. The Bureau of Sexual Issues and HIV-AIDS Prevention has also taken a number of measures, including in relation to the equality of girl and boy adolescents, offering not only sex education but also discussing the relationship of young people to their roles, their expectations and to the other gender. Various campaigns have been undertaken to break stereotypes. None of the measures are intended to have an immediate measurable effect. However, by questioning role images and showing greater career opportunities and sensitizing children, teachers and parents, changes in attitudes are expected to appear in the medium term. Therefore, in response to Sweden, the delegation asserted that general awareness-raising efforts continue to be made. It mentioned, in addition, the equal-opportunity prize offered every year since 2000, the establishment of a project group that aims to improve the involvement of men in the process of
