A/HRC/15/55*
(b)
Expand coverage of social protection, especially existing social assistance
programmes, and take all necessary measures to ensure that support is given to the
poorest as a priority. The Government should review the targeting methods of its
programmes to avoid discretionary measures and ensure that they are regularly
monitored. The imposition of conditionalities must be reviewed to avoid further
excluding those in need of assistance. Reliable complaint mechanisms must be
accessible to the poor so they can report alleged abuses and claim the support to
which they are entitled;
(c)
Strengthen efforts to fight corruption and take concrete measures
without delay to improve the functioning capacity of the Anti-Corruption Commission
and continue raising awareness about the negative impact of corruption;
(d)
Ensure respect for labour standards, also by revising relevant legislation,
such as the Labour Act of 2006, to ensure that it complies with international human
rights standards and principles. The Government should also significantly strengthen
the mechanisms that enforce labour standards, consider ratifying the ILO Convention
concerning Minimum Age for Admission to Employment (Convention No. 138), and
increase efforts to prevent and respond to child labour, in particular in its worst
forms.
