A/HRC/27/3 attention should be given to the best interests of the child, specifically in all immigration matters, and to the situation of migrants. 100. Canada asked what progress Norway had achieved since 2009 in generating data on manifestations of racial discrimination and the situation of minority groups in order to identify patterns of direct and indirect discrimination. 101. Chile noted that human rights had been strengthened through recent amendments to the Norwegian Constitution and that the country had the capacity to renew its efforts to tackle domestic violence, promote equality of opportunity and combat all forms of discrimination. 102. China noted the progress made in protecting children’s rights and in combating domestic violence and human trafficking. However, violence against women continued, Roma and migrants suffered discrimination and the Sami language and culture could not be guaranteed. 103. The Republic of the Congo noted that more action was required to combat discrimination against women, minorities, indigenous peoples and persons of foreign origin. The fact that minors were detained together with adults was a cause for concern. 104. Costa Rica noted that Norway had ratified several international human rights instruments, introduced measures to combat discrimination against minorities and made commitments to improve the situation of asylum seekers and refugees. 105. Côte d’Ivoire noted the institutional and legislative reforms undertaken by Norway in respect of human rights, including gender equality and the rights of persons with disabilities, national minorities, migrants and asylum seekers. 106. Sri Lanka noted the progress made in the area of children’s rights but stated that gender equality remained a challenge; higher education programmes were gender-divided and women earned lower wages than men. It acknowledged that targeted measures were being taken to tackle the high unemployment rate among immigrants. 107. The Czech Republic noted the efforts being taken in Norway to improve access to education for Roma. Reducing absenteeism required addressing the underlying social causes and the full cooperation of all stakeholders, including parents. 108. Denmark indicated that continuous monitoring and reporting of the human rights situation in Norway would be essential to track results of efforts made. It welcomed work on the draft Nordic Sami Convention, which would advance the rights of the Sami across country borders. 109. Ecuador was concerned at the situation of ethnic minorities, particularly the Roma, and at the high number of complaints by migrants of ill-treatment at the hands of the police and other representatives of the State. 110. Egypt urged Norway to address concerns regarding the treatment of migrants and to investigate allegations of racial profiling by law enforcement officers, refoulement of asylum seekers and disappearances of unaccompanied minors from asylum centres. 111. Estonia said that Norway had taken positive steps in ratifying international human rights instruments and in protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and minorities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons (LGBTI). 112. Finland asked what targeted measures were being taken to ensure that more immigrant women could find work. Noting the disappearance of children from reception centres, it asked how Norway was working to protect children who sought asylum from becoming victims of trafficking. 11
