A/HRC/10/72 Page 10 infrastructure and Egypt was interested in having further information on the National Council for Foreigners and Mediator, and on the Ombuds-Comité relating to the rights of children. Egypt also applauded Luxembourg for its commitment to multilateral cooperation, interculturalism and the protection of children in armed conflict. In this regard, Egypt expressed its appreciation for the contributions by Luxembourg to the financing of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees and for the fact that Luxembourg is one of the few States to allocate more than 0.7 per cent of GDP to development assistance. Egypt was interested in obtaining further information on the policy of the Government of Luxembourg with regard to migration, combating racism and xenophobia, in particular what has been done in the area of education and media. Egypt recommended that Luxembourg consider adhering to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, and effectively address the difficulties experienced by migrants, particularly migrant women. It also recommended that it ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography; strengthen efforts to combat human trafficking and sexual exploitation; strengthen efforts to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance; and implement the recommendation of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in this regard. 34. Canada, as part of the troika, commended the proactive approach taken by Luxembourg to the international scene, which reflects its commitment to the respect for human rights. Canada welcomed its efforts to combat racism and xenophobia, including the recent adoption of a law making discrimination and racism aggravating circumstances. Canada noted that, despite such efforts, certain behaviours persist in Luxembourg and recommended that it provide improved training for officials on human rights, including racial discrimination and xenophobia issues. While recognizing the State’s efforts to provide adequate protection to refugees seeking asylum, Canada expressed its concerns, in line with the Committee against Torture, at its policy of detention of asylum-seekers. Canada recommended that Luxembourg bring its policy into line with conclusion 7 (e) of the conclusions on international protection for refugees, which recommends that expulsion measures should not include detention unless for national security reasons or public order. Canada took note of the concerns raised by the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the Committee against Torture concerning human trafficking, and encouraged Luxembourg to continue efforts to combat it. Canada recommended implementing all relevant provisions of the protocol to prevent, repress and punish those who are guilty of human trafficking, especially trafficking in women and children. Canada also expressed its disappointment at certain terminology, which tends to exclude women and children. It recommended that Luxembourg adopt terminologies in French, as in the case of the two other official languages, which truly reflect common values related to equality between men, women and children. 35. Burkina Faso commended Luxembourg for the measures taken in recent years with a view to strengthen the fight against all form of discrimination and encouraged it to continue in this direction. In this respect, the creation of the centre for equal opportunity in the work place and the work market was most welcome. Burkina Faso asked for further information on the solutions Luxembourg intends to find for the problem of family reunification, which is of particular concern for migrant workers who are not members of the European economic area. 36. Chile pointed out that the reports prepared by OHCHR show that Luxembourg has taken into account the majority of observations and recommendations made by treaty bodies, special procedures and non-governmental organizations. Chile particularly welcomed measures to promote the rights of women, namely the national action plan for gender equality. It noted that
