A/HRC/29/14 62. The Netherlands congratulated Grenada for its adherence to a number of core human rights instruments. It remained concerned about the law which criminalized consensual sexual acts between adult males. Also, despite recommendations from the first review, corporal punishment remained lawful. 63. Ecuador recognized the efforts of Grenada to implement UPR recommendations from the first review, in particular the adoption of legislative measures, among other initiatives, such as the Domestic Violence and the Child Protection Acts. 64. France asked if Grenada intended establishing a national human rights institution in conformity with the Paris Principles. 65. Ireland urged Grenada to bring the Juvenile Justice Act into force and take all possible steps to submit overdue treaty body reports. Grenada had not implemented the first-cycle recommendations on establishing a national human rights institution in compliance with the Paris Principles. Ireland expressed concern that the Criminal Code penalized consensual same-sex relations. 66. The delegation thanked again all delegations for their comments and additional questions. 67. Responding to additional questions from Ireland and Trinidad and Tobago on the Juvenile Justice Act and the work to be done to bring the Act into force, the delegation stated that one of the conditions to enable the coming into force of the Act was the establishment of the Bacolet facility, which was expected to be completed in 2015. Once that was be done, the Government would move to implement that Act. 68. Grenada further thanked the delegations of Argentina, Cuba and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which spoke on the issue of education, noting the priority placed by Grenada on education. Grenada indicated that it intended to promote education even further. In terms of the legal framework, and as part of the fundamental rights provisions, Grenada intended to include education in the constitutional reforms. A new clause was also being drafted to ensure that every child with a disability would have the right to an education, in accordance with their needs. 69. On a question regarding the prison conditions, Grenada referred to ongoing efforts to reactivate the Prison Review Committee to review conditions in prison. The Committee had met in 2013 and had made some recommendations. 70. With regard to additional questions raised by France and Ireland on the national human rights institute, as indicated earlier, Grenada was actively discussing that as part of the constitutional reform process. Grenada had requested assistance from the United Nations for the establishment of a permanent mechanism for constitutional reform. Grenada was also seeking assistance to hold a seminar to raise awareness on the issue. 71. In conclusion, the delegation thanked all delegations. Grenada continued to pursue its commitments made to the Human Rights Council in 2010 and was committed to the promotion and protection of fundamental human rights. It was cognizant that capacity and resource constraints continued to impede its ability to more effectively and efficiently implement many of its initiatives and programmes aimed at improving the livelihood of its citizens and those who visited or resided in their shores. In the face of the many challenges that Grenada faced, economic, social and otherwise, Grenada looked forward to continued partnership with the international community in the protection and promotion of human rights through the strengthening of human rights mechanisms in the national, regional and international forums. 10
