A/HRC/10/77 Page 6 steps to ensure that the right of access to a lawyer is formally guaranteed to all persons from the outset of their detention. With regard to the Committee’s concern about the use of a hood to cover the head of an arrested person for the duration of apprehension and transfer into custody, Liechtenstein explained that only a squad of the national police has the authorization to use this method, only as a last resort and in accordance with the principle of proportionality. This practice is rare and only followed in very particular cases when the suspect is an extremely dangerous or violent criminal, with the aim to ensure the personal safety of the officers involved in the apprehension. The apprehension of suspects is a regular subject of basic and continuing police training. The Committee, in this respect, indicated that, during its visits to Liechtenstein, it heard no allegations and gathered no other evidence of ill treatment during police custody and interrogation. 20. On the issue of the connection of young right-wing extremists to similar groups in neighbouring countries, Liechtenstein stated that a commission on protection from violence, chaired by the national police, was appointed in 2003. Its mandate is, inter alia, to monitor closely the evolution of persons adhering to such ideologies, to prosecute criminal offences linked to right-wing extremism and to take all measures necessary to prevent activities of the radical right. The commission was also mandated in 2007 to conduct a sociological study of the phenomenon in order to paint a more accurate picture of the problem and its root causes, and to develop a strategy and specific concept for action to prevent the expansion of right-wing extremism, as suggested by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The result of the study is expected in 2009. In addition, there is regular and close regional cooperation among the police forces of Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria and Germany on this issue. 21. Close regional cooperation is also an important pillar of the State’s policy to combat trafficking in persons. At the national level, a round table on human trafficking, established in 2006, prepared a set of guidelines on the handling of cases of trafficking of persons, which was adopted by the Government. The guidelines provide for, inter alia, a period of reflection of 30 days for potential victims. If the victim decides to cooperate with the authorities, a residence permit is granted for the time of the investigations and court procedures. The round table is currently developing a prevention project for nightclub dancers, considered to be the most vulnerable group. The Government has also adopted detailed regulations on the protection of nightclub dancers, which are the basis for regular inspections of nightclubs by the national police and the Immigration and Passport Office. To date, no cases of human trafficking have surfaced in Liechtenstein. 22. Liechtenstein indicated that the curricula of primary- and secondary-school levels include measures to better integrate immigrant children. A special focus is placed on intensive German language courses. In order to promote mutual respect and tolerance, religious instruction in German for Muslim children was introduced in primary schools for the 2007/2008 school year as a pilot project. Owing to its success, the project was prolonged for the 2008/2009 year and will, after being evaluated by the relevant authorities, eventually become part of the regular primary school curriculum. B.
