A/HRC/26/15 79. Germany commended the progress made since the first UPR cycle. It expressed concern regarding the discrepancy between the country’s legal standards and their implementation, with particular regard to violence against women and excessive use of force by police officers. Discrimination faced by migrants, especially families of Haitian descent, was of concern. Germany made recommendations. 80. Guatemala noted Act No. 1-12 on the National Development Strategy and the creation of the National Register for the Assessment and Certification of persons with disabilities, which would facilitate development of appropriate policies; the Human Rights Unit in the Attorney General’s Office; and the National Council for Migration. It reiterated concerns regarding legislation on nationality and migration, particularly affecting Haitians born in the country. Guatemala made a recommendation. 81. Indonesia acknowledged the consolidation of human rights principles into domestic legislation, Act No. 1-12 on the National Development Strategy, the review of Act No. 4200 on disability, the establishment of the Human Rights Unit in the Attorney General’s Office, the appointment of the Ombudsman and the establishment of the Constitutional Court. It commended efforts to protect women’s rights and improve access to education. Indonesia made recommendations. 82. Iraq welcomed implementation of the National Development Strategy, establishment of the Human Rights Unit in the Attorney General’s Office, and improved access to human rights institutions for citizens. It noted campaigns to end violence against women, and measures to combat poverty and improve access to education for all children, despite their legal status. Iraq made a recommendation. 83. Ireland noted steps to tackle gender-based violence, including the provision of protection and access to information for victims. It remains concerned about the continuing high incidence of killings of women. The Criminal Code should adequately punish violence against women. Constitutional Court ruling TC0168/13 could result in statelessness for many, particularly persons of Haitian descent. Welcoming the prosecution of freedom of expression violations, it expressed concern regarding threats against journalists and human rights defenders who have opposed the decision of the Constitutional Court. The Government should cooperate with the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders. Ireland made recommendations. 84.

It asked what steps had been taken to combat exploitation of children, such as prostitution, pornography and domestic work. It noted the policy to “clean up” national institutions, and police and security forces. It expressed concern regarding the Constitutional Court ruling on nationality. Italy made recommendations. 85. Jamaica noted the prioritization of persons with disabilities and the strengthening of National Council for Persons with Disabilities, establishment of the Human Rights Unit in the Attorney General’s Office, and implementation of a strategic framework and national road map to eliminate child labour by 2020. The discriminatory Constitutional Court ruling TC0168/13 would render many persons of Haitian descent stateless, which was of concern. It welcomed the resumption of dialogue with Haiti in seeking to address this issue. It urged the Government to resolve the issue of citizenship rights of Dominicans of Haitian descent and other affected nationals. 86. Malaysia noted legislative and institutional measures to protect and promote human rights.
