A/HRC/12/2 page 12 on alleged torture and enforced disappearances. It encouraged the Government to continue collaborating with OHCHR and United Nations bodies and called upon the international community to provide capacity-building programmes and technical assistance. 52. Cote d’Ivoire applauded the substantial progress made despite challenges, including the programme to manage schools by local communities, efforts to welcome refugee children from neighbouring countries and the creation of tribunals for children in 2001. It recommended the Government seek from the international community, and especially from United Nations programmes and agencies, support with a view to strengthening, if not already available, capacity-building programmes and technical assistance, especially in human rights education, child labour, security, assistance to families and communities to help them fight the effects of poverty and HIV/AIDS, education and juvenile justice. It exhorted the State to deepen institutional reform to promote human rights, increase assistance to IDPs and prevent new displacements. 53. Spain recalled the primary responsibility of the State to guarantee security. It recommended (a) establishment of a national commission for human rights, with sufficient guarantees of independence and adequate material and human resources, which would work in close cooperation with the United Nations. Noting discrimination against women in the enjoyment of political rights and in education, Spain recommended (b) abolishing polygamy and adopting a plan to fight the scourge of female genital mutilation, criminalizing this practice and mobilizing public opinion against it, and adopting measures to reduce violence against women, both rape and domestic violence; (c) the definitive abolition of the death penalty; (d) speeding up measures to ensure reintegration into the community of minors giving up their weapons, making it possible to comply with the agreements undertaken by the Government and the Union of Democratic Forces for Unity with the United Nations; and (e) that these agreements be concluded and implemented in the case of other remaining irregular forces. 54. Germany enquired about actions to curb violence against women, especially female genital mutilation. It noted a prevalence of diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, and asked about action taken. Stressing that IDPs often do not have access to adequate housing, infrastructure, education and the health system, Germany asked about strategies to improve their situation. Germany recommended that the State abolish the death penalty. 55. The Republic of Korea noted efforts to improve human rights despite challenges, the decriminalization of press offences in 2005 and introduction of juvenile courts in 2001. It remarked that the judicial system is undermined by arbitrary arrests, detention and delays in the administration of justice, and impunity for serious human rights violations. Although there was a significant decrease in extrajudicial executions by the armed forces in the north, concerns remained about the large number of enforced disappearances, summary executions and torture. It recommended (a) focusing attention more on the serious issues of combating impunity; that human rights violations should be systematically investigated and those responsible for such violations, without exception, should be prosecuted and punished; and (b) further strengthening cooperation with the international community, including OHCHR and treaty bodies.
