Bosnia and Herzegovina noted that Montenegro is a party to most core human rights treaties and encouraged the Government to continue its efforts towards ratification of any outstanding human rights treaties and asked for more information about the steps taken in this regard, in particular regarding the Government’s plan to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and to harmonize the strategy on inclusion of persons with the provisions of the Convention. It noted, inter alia, the establishment of the Ministry of Human Rights and Minority Rights, the recent adoption of the law on gender equality, the Plan of Activities for Achieving Gender Equality and welcomed the self-critical approach shown in the report in relation to the lack of de facto improvements in the field of distribution of power between men and women. In this regard, the delegation encouraged the Government to continue efforts to eliminate stereotypes and raise social awareness of gender equality and the human rights of women and to continue the implementation of priorities in this field. Montenegro was asked about its planned activities as a new member of the Executive Committee of UNHCR. 59. Norway noted that Montenegro had made significant progress in improving the observance of international human rights law and principles. Norway shared the concerns expressed in the stakeholder report concerning politically motivated journalists attacks, and the general climate of impunity surrounding these assaults. Norway requested information on the measures taken to respond to these allegations and conclude the investigation into reported cases. Norway recommended that Montenegro address effectively and without further delay politically motivated attack against journalists, including by undertaking prompt, thorough and impartial investigations into these crimes and bringing those responsible to justice. 60. China noted that the national report gave a detailed account of the legal framework in Montenegro for the promotion and protection of human rights, as well as achievements and the challenges it faces. Montenegro has set up a fairly complete constitutional legal system, the ministry for the protection of human and minority rights and the institution of an ombudsman. It had made a lot of progress in promoting judicial justice, fighting human trafficking, protecting refugees’ rights and interests, improving the standard of living, and so on. It noted that Montenegro made outstanding achievements in the issue of refugees and displaced persons, and that Montenegro is now implementing a strategy conducive to a lasting solution to the issue of refugees and displaced persons. China requested further information on the challenges in implementing this strategy and the areas in which Montenegro needs the help and support of the international community. It recommended that Montenegro call on the international community to provide technical assistance and financial support in line with its needs to implement the strategy. 61.

The monopoly of information services is prohibited by legislation. 62.
