A/HRC/WG.6/5/L.5 page 6 18. Brazil asked about the measures being taken to prevent stereotypical attitudes concerning the role and responsibilities of women and avoid discrimination against them and about the measures to prevent sexual exploitation of children and child labour. Brazil recommended that the Congo (a) reinforce women’s rights within the labour market; (b) accomplish progressively human right goals as set forth in Human Rights Council resolution 9/12. Brazil noted the Congo’s expectation of receiving technical assistance from the Human Rights Council and invited delegations to positively consider assisting the Congo in these endeavours. 19. Algeria noted that political commitment in relation to human rights is clear and that support of the international community remains, however, necessary. Algeria recommended that the Congo: (a) consider the appropriateness of taking measures to have the National Commission for Human Rights accredited by the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights; (b) request support from the United Nations Programmes and Agencies to establish programmes and strategies for literacy and employment training for women in order to improve their conditions and their participation in the development of the country; (c) continue efforts undertaken in the area of protection and realization of the rights of the child, particularly regarding access to education. 20. France asked about the implementation of recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism to prevent and punish violence against members of the Pygmy community. Also, it asked if the Congo intended to respond favourably to the proposal of UNHCR to establish a joint expert commission to review and amend the draft law on refugees. France recommended (a) to take all appropriate measure to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women, in particular in respect to property, the sharing and inheritance of land and access to education, the labour market and political life. France also recommended that the Congo (b) adopt laws prohibiting such practices as female genital mutilation and take focused measures to ensure that these practices are dropped as a result of broad awareness-raising campaigns; (c) adopt measures immediately and in line with human rights international standards with respect to the rights of children to prohibit in particular child labour and prevent, criminalize and punish sexual exploitation and child trafficking; and (d) sign and ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention of the Rights of the Child concerning the involvement of children in armed conflicts (CRC-OP-AC). 21. The Sudan noted that despite the fact that the implementation of international human rights instruments is the primary responsibility of the concerned country, it can also be realized through international cooperation and provision of technical assistance, particularly in developing countries.
