A/HRC/43/9/Add.1 Recommendations 119.52 and 119.57: the legislation on registered partnerships has been recently enacted (Law. no. 147/2018) and a monitoring of its effects is underway, also in relation to possible future judicial decisions. With regard to access to adoption to same-sex couples, there has not yet been an in-depth debate on this subject. Recommendations 119.69, 119.70 and 119.71: San Marino is committed to the fight against trafficking in human beings, following its accession to the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, whose monitoring committee the GRETA, Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings - has already carried out two visits to the Republic of San Marino. GRETA experts have been told that there is no cases known by the authorities, but that the annual training provided to social workers, social security and law enforcement agencies nevertheless covers the theme. The labour sector is also suitably monitored by the offices controlling such activities. Considering that until now no case of trafficking in human beings has occurred in San Marino, it is not considered that there is a need to adopt a specific regulatory framework on the subject; it is felt that it is preferable to devote all attention and resources to the administrative activity already undertaken to monitor the situation. Recommendations 119.79, 119.80 and 119.81: we are currently not able to accept these recommendations, as the debate on the decriminalization of abortion is underway in our country, especially in the light of popular legislative initiatives having a diametrically opposed content. The parliamentary debate should take place in 2020. Recommendation 119.92 and 119.96: without prejudice to our commitment to improve the conditions enabling a greater participation of women in political life and in decision-making positions, the recommendations drawn up in this way are not deemed acceptable. As a result of the elections of 8 December 2019, more women sit now in Parliament and the number of women present in Government has remained stable. The increase in the number of women in Parliament indicates however that a natural process in underway. Recommendation 119.106: although San Marino’s Government is willing to participate in humanitarian initiatives, as it happened in 2016 with its support for humanitarian corridors organised by the Community of Sant’Egidio, it is not in a position to commit to a permanent support to such projects. San Marino’s participation in these initiatives will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Recommendation 119.108: we do not expect to introduce in San Marino legal system a procedure for the processing and adjudicating of asylum applications, since in recent years the applications submitted were very few. The permit we provide foreigners with when they, for various reasons, are not in a position to return to their country is the extraordinary stay permit for humanitarian reasons of social protection, issued by the Government following a case-by-case examination of the applications. This permit may be granted in case of special humanitarian needs and allows holders to benefit from health care and temporary economic benefits from the Social Security Institute. 5
