A/HRC/38/11 97. With regard to gender equality, it was pleased to report that at the end of 2017, the wage gap between men and women in Luxembourg had decreased to 5.4 per cent, the lowest in the European Union. 98. Luxembourg created a national programme for the social and professional integration of refugees and asylum seekers soon after their arrival. Although a variety of languages were used in the country, Luxembourgish was viewed as the language of integration. 99. Luxembourg viewed all children as vulnerable beings in need of protection. It had decided against creating a criminal code for minors, as it had opted for a protective rather than a punitive approach. In respect of the deprivation of liberty for minors, on 1 November 2017, the new closed security unit for minors in Dreiborn had become operational. Minors were no longer isolated; rather, they were placed for renewable three-month periods. An interdisciplinary team was available to supervise such minors. The purpose of the security unit was to avoid putting minors in jail, as had previously been the case. 100. Draft bill No. 7008 submitted by the Minister of Justice strengthened efforts to combat the exploitation of prostitution, procurement and trafficking in persons for sexual purposes. Such efforts depended on cooperation between actors in the field, the future commission to combat prostitution and the committee for monitoring efforts to combat trafficking in human beings. 101. Regarding domestic violence, draft bill No. 7167 foresaw the introduction of preventive and protective measures against all forms of gender-based violence, including sexual violence. In 2016, the Ministry of Equal Opportunities had certified a psychosocial counselling service for child and adolescent victims of violence operated by the Pro Familia Foundation. 102. With regard to the rights of persons with disabilities, Luxembourg cited ongoing legislative and practical efforts to improve accessibility for such persons. Regarding employment of persons with disabilities, a bill was drafted to simplify administrative procedures in that respect and ensure more equal treatment for persons with disabilities. 103. In the field of human rights education, Luxembourg highlighted that regarding its “Life and Society” initiative, Myanmar had raised the possibility of cooperation. The head of delegation welcomed this and proposed to explore that possibility at the bilateral level. He also stated that police officers were given basic human rights education as part of their basic training. 104. With regard to the efforts to welcome persons seeking protection and meet the special needs of vulnerable persons, Luxembourg highlighted the possibility to apply flexibility to Eurodac’s Dublin Rules. 105. Luxembourg concluded by appealing to all — member States and civil society — who made vital contributions to the Human Rights Council to redouble their efforts to work towards an order in which the rights of all individuals and all peoples were respected, protected and promoted. II. Conclusions and/or recommendations 106. The following recommendations will be examined by Luxembourg, which will provide responses in due time, but no later than the thirty-eighth session of the Human Rights Council: 106.1 Withdraw the reservations to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which could be contrary to the object and purpose of the Convention (Mexico); 106.2 Consider withdrawing its reservations to articles 2, 6, 7 and 15 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which, according to the Committee on the Rights of the Child, appear to be incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention (Burkina Faso); 10
