A/HRC/11/L.10 page 167 682. The International Federation of Human Rights Leagues regretted the fact that the Government of Jordan had refused the most substantive recommendations, in particular the official investigation on all allegations of torture and the withdrawal of reservations to the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It welcomed the decision of Jordan to withdraw its reservation to article 15 (4) of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, but regretted that Jordan refused to lift its reservation to articles 9 (2) and 16 of the Convention. It expressed its hope that Jordan would finally provide positive responses to several recommendations concerning honour crimes and the necessary review of the legislation applicable to terrorism. It also regretted the fact that Jordan had rejected the recommendations calling for a revision of the Association Law. 683. The Charitable Institute for Protecting Social Victims underlined the negative approach taken towards children’s rights; the continued negligence of the basic rights of orphaned children; the rise in child labour; the rise in the number of women without heads of household and the spread of prostitution among these women; and the daily rise in the number of torture cases in detention centres and prisons. It also noted the rise in the number of complaints against human rights violations, the lack of proper investigation and processing of complaints and the violation of prisoner and detainee rights. 684. The Al-Hakim Foundation welcomed Jordan’s acceptance of the recommendations stemming from its review and its efforts to ensure the necessary conditions for the work of human rights institutions. It expressed its appreciation to Jordan for having hosted thousands of Iraqi refugees and for its continued support and assistance to them, while calling for greater efforts in the fields of health and education. It commended Jordan for its role in peacekeeping operations and in the fight against terrorism. It mentioned the need to improve the situation of migrant workers and to protect their human rights, and called for the adoption of laws in this regard.
