The outcome of the review of Hungary comprises the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/18/17), the views of Hungary concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, and its voluntary commitments and replies presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary to questions or issues that were not sufficiently addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group (see also A/HRC/18/17/Add.1). 1. Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome 612. The delegation of Hungary reiterated the Government’s commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights in its domestic and foreign policies and, in particular, to the universal periodic review as a mechanism with the potential to make a difference on the ground if recommendations were implemented. Furthermore, while referring to a number of meetings held with non-governmental organizations on several pertinent issues, the delegation acknowledged the contribution of the review process to the improvement of the Government’s cooperation with civil society. 613. Hungary had received 148 recommendations during the session of the Working Group. As a result of intensive consultations on the 29 pending recommendations left for further consideration after the session held in May, Hungary had accepted 122 of the 148 recommendations. The delegation underlined the fact that several recommendations had not received the support of Hungary exclusively because the course of actions suggested in the recommendations had already been completed and, thus, there was no need for further consideration or action. 614. The delegation provided an explanation on its position with regard to 29 recommendations pending a decision since the session of the Working Group, and referred to the addendum to the report of the Working Group for further information. 615. The delegation informed the Human Rights Council that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Civil Rights (Ombudsman) had been accredited by the International Coordination Committee of National Human Rights Institutions in 2011. The ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance was under way. 170 GE.12-17756
