A/HRC/38/11 offered by the Interministerial Human Rights Committee and simplified reporting procedures. 9. Since the last review, Luxembourg had ratified the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communications procedure. Preparations were underway to ratify the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169). Moreover, the Chamber of Deputies was examining a bill to adopt the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention). 10. Luxembourg had an independent national human rights institution in full compliance with the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles), namely the Consultative Commission on Human Rights. Construction had begun on Human Rights House, which would host the offices of the Commission, the Ombudsman, the Ombuds-Committee for Children’s Rights and the Centre for Equal Treatment. 11. Further to the adoption of a law of 7 November 2017, the Centre for Equal Treatment would henceforth be attached to the Chamber of Deputies, thereby ensuring its greater independence. 12. A draft bill on an ombudsman for children and adolescents, to replace the current Ombuds-Committee for Children’s Rights, would shortly be put forward in the Chamber of Deputies. 13. The delegation highlighted the adoption, in January 2016, of the so-called “Luxembourg Guidelines” for the harmonization of terminology on the protection of children from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. 14. Regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons and nondiscrimination, draft bill No. 7146 had been submitted in May 2017 specifically to strengthen the rights of transgender and intersex persons through the introduction of an administrative procedure for amending the mention of the sex in civil status documents and the corresponding first names. Moreover, thought was being given to the possible introduction of a third gender-related indication for civil status documents. Finally, in September 2017, a draft bill had been submitted for the inclusion of “gender identity” among the grounds for unlawful discrimination enumerated in article 454 of the Criminal Code. 15. With regard to trafficking in persons, considerable efforts had been made to understand and curb the phenomenon. Efforts were focused on three areas: prevention; the protection and promotion of victims’ rights; and the prosecution of the perpetrators of such crimes. Therefore, training and awareness-raising courses were run for police officers, magistrates, labour inspectors, immigration officers and community workers. 16. The concept of restorative justice had been introduced into the Code of Criminal Procedure through the Law of 8 May 2017, which strengthened procedural safeguards in criminal matters. In that respect, the Government was working together with the University of Luxembourg to train restorative justice “facilitators”, who would play a role similar to that of mediators. 17. Luxembourg stated that in the “Luxleaks” case, it should be recalled that the Appeal Court ruling had granted whistle-blower status. The partial cassation of that decision following an appeal by the two parties did not call that recognition into question. 18. Luxembourg was actively following efforts at the United Nations to draft a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration and a global compact on refugees. Between 2015 and 2017, 2,116 persons had obtained refugee status in Luxembourg, while 108 persons had been granted subsidiary status. Since December 2017, Luxembourg had fulfilled all the commitments it had made within the European Union regarding the relocation of applicants for international protection coming through Italy and Greece. 3
