A/HRC/10/62 page 7 Estonia [Original: English] [26 September 2008] 14. Estonia had registered only one case of leprosy since 1999. Treatment was fully compensated in compliance with Government regulation No. 308 of 26 September 2002, as a disease which was treatable and curable. People affected by leprosy and their family members were guaranteed all the rights prescribed by law and therefore it was not necessary to implement any supplementary measures. Finland [Original: English] [23 September 2008] 15. Leprosy was combated successfully in the 1960s and there was no separate legislation in relation to this disease. General non-discrimination standards as laid down in section 6 of the Constitution ensured that every person, including those affected by leprosy and their family members, were treated equally before the law. Furthermore, the Non-Discrimination Act provided a general framework for equal treatment in all aspects of employment, occupation and education. The Act defined discrimination broadly, covering both direct and indirect discrimination. Finally, Finland had also included provisions to prevent discrimination on any grounds in the Penal Code, in its Employment Contracts Act and in the Act on the Status and Rights of Patients. France [Original: French] [7 October 2008] 16. Leprosy had been officially eradicated according to WHO standards (0.013 cases per 10,000). Greece [Original: English] [6 November 2008] 17. Persons newly affected by leprosy amounted to one a year in the past 20 years, and the total population of leprosy affected persons was under 500 in total. Law No. 1137/1981 specifically addressed treatment and social protection of patients suffering from Hansen’s disease and provided for doctors and hospital staff to ensure confidentiality, for the elimination of words such as “leprosy” and “leper” from public documents and for the provision of monthly income support for patients in treatment, already treated and cured, as well as for their family members, including children.
