A/HRC/44/2 the Working Group, and which were presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary (see also A/HRC/44/7/Add.1). 1. Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome 351. The delegation expressed its appreciation to the States that participated in the interactive dialogue, to civil society, the National Human Rights Institution, and the Ombudsman’s Office, for their involvement and commitment to the universal periodic review of Spain. 352. Spain regretted that, as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, it was not possible to hold a meeting with civil society and the Ombudsman's Office in the last phase of the process, and reiterated its willingness to maintain communication for follow-up on the recommendations. 353. Following the interactive dialogue, the competent Ministries and agencies, as well as the Office of the Attorney-General, analysed the 275 recommendations received. As a result of this process, coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, a document containing Spain's position on the recommendations received was sent to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. 354. Spain decided to accept 252 of the recommendations received, equivalent to 91 per cent of the total. The accepted recommendations are those with which Spain agrees and which it can implement; as well as those recommendations that are currently being implemented or that refer to measures under way, and in relation to which it is not considered necessary to adopt additional measures. 355. Spain partially accepted 13 recommendations, with which it agrees in general terms, but can only partially implement them, either because it does not agree with the way they should be implemented or because there are legal, budgetary or constitutional factors that prevent their full implementation. In addition, this category included those recommendations that could be divided, where one part was accepted and the other noted. 356. Finally, Spain took note of ten recommendations, because it could not commit to implementing them at this stage, or with whose content or principles it does not agree. 357. In order to increase transparency, and following the model used by other States, Spain attached to the addendum an annex in which the recommendations are classified by subject and the reasons for Spain's positions are explained. An English version of the annex will be sent to the OHCHR for being posted on the web. 358. Regarding recommendations related to non-discrimination on the basis of gender, the delegation indicated that the promotion of gender equality and the elimination of different forms of violence against women and girls is a strong commitment of the Government. In order to harmonize national legislation with the Istanbul Convention, Spain is promoting a draft Organic Law on the Integral Guarantee of Sexual Freedom, which provides for a better definition of sexual crimes, as well as additional procedural guarantees for the protection and support of victims. 359. At the international level, Spain indicated that it would participate in the Generation Equality Forum to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, co-leading the action coalition on economic justice and rights. 360. In the area of combating racial discrimination, xenophobia and other related forms of intolerance, the delegation noted that Spanish legislative standards on racial discrimination and incitement to hatred are high.
