A/HRC/18/2 when and to what extent the legislation could be amended to better guarantee the Constitutional precept that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual persons were not to be discriminated in Seychelles. 344. Seychelles had accepted the recommendations on health. Additional explanations would be found in a more comprehensive statement to be posted on the extranet of the Human Rights Council. 345. The recommendations on water had been accepted. Provisional statistics from the 2010 census indicated that most households received treated water from the mains supply of the Public Utilities Company. However, during periods of prolonged low rainfall, the Company implemented its emergency plans, which entailed restrictions at different intervals and areas to ensure a reasonable stock of water. The Company was also expected to set up seven desalination plants, which would increase the capacity supply to 17 million litres of water per day. One was already being connected, which would yield 1 million litres of water, and the rest were expected to be connected and ready to produce water within the next two months. At the same time, the Company was also implementing its drought action plan, which was aimed at completing projects that would maximize the use of the country’s water resources. 346. On other various miscellaneous recommendations, the delegation indicated the positions of Seychelles. 347. Seychelles had accepted the recommendations to implement the recommendations of the constitutional review of 2008. 348. In the context of the constitutional review Seychelles had also accepted to bring the Public Order Act governing public assemblies into line with the principles of the Constitution. 349. Seychelles had accepted the recommendation to continue the adoption and implementation of public policies aimed at protecting persons with disabilities and to ensure their equal access to dignified housing, employment and health. 350. Seychelles had accepted the recommendation to consider the possibility of adopting non-custodial sentences where feasible, as well as measures to reintegrate the prison population into society. Activities to reintegrate offenders into society had been undertaken by specialized staff at the prison. Also, the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act of 1996 afforded an offender the opportunity to start afresh after a period of abstention from crime, as it prohibited the unauthorized disclosure of convictions in respect of these offences. 351. Seychelles had not accepted the recommendation to put in place an independent police complaints commission. The Government was of the view that, at the present time, there was no need to establish such a dedicated commission, given that complaints against the police were largely filed on the grounds of poor service delivery rather than for abuse of power by the police. 352. Seychelles had accepted the recommendation that it put in place appropriate mechanisms to ensure that individuals and members of the political opposition were able to take part freely in public rallies and peaceful demonstrations, and to express their views without fear of reprisal, using any form of media. 353. Seychelles had accepted the recommendation that it consider devising and implementing a national strategy for human rights education, which would cover both the formal educational sector and a wider public for enhancing human rights awareness. 354. Seychelles had accepted the recommendation that it request the technical assistance and cooperation necessary for the implementation of the recommendations accepted during its universal periodic review.
