A/HRC/41/6/Add.1 125.252, 125.253, 125.254, 125.255, 125.256, 125.257, 125.258, 125.261, 125.262, 125.263, 125.265 and 125.266. Additional information on the above recommendations accepted by Chile 6. The Government accepts recommendation 125.34, pointing out that the legal configuration of the national mechanism for the prevention of torture meets the requirements set forth in the principles relating to the status of national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles). 7. Chile accepts recommendations 125.59 and 125.60. However, the Government wishes to highlight two circumstances linked to these recommendations. The first is the current increase in human rights training taking place within the Forces of Order and Public Security. The second is that the police forces have procedures that enable them to investigate police abuses and impose administrative penalties, without prejudice to the powers exercised by the Public Prosecution Service and the courts. 8. Chile accepts recommendations 125.93, 125.94 and 125.95. However, the Government points out that Chilean legislation currently conforms to international human rights standards in the area of combating people smuggling and trafficking in persons. 9. Chile accepts recommendation 125.101. Nevertheless, the Government would like to point out that the expression “including by harmonizing national legislation with relevant international standards” does not take account of the fact that Chilean legislation already conforms to international human rights standards in the area of combating people smuggling and trafficking in persons. 10. Chile accepts recommendation 125.102. As in the previous instance, the Government wishes to point out that the expression “including by reviewing its criminal legislation on trafficking in persons in line with international standards, ensuring the prosecution of perpetrators and providing rehabilitation and compensation to victims” fails to take account of the fact that Chilean legislation currently conforms to international human rights standards in the area of combating people smuggling and trafficking in persons. 11. The Government accepts recommendation 125.110. However, it notes that while there is now a bill intended to create an “independent control authority”, the Government cannot guarantee the bill’s adoption by the National Congress owing to the nature and duration of the constitutional processes inherent to the enactment of legislation. 12. Recommendation 125.144 is accepted subject to the clarification that no commitment can be made in respect of the legislative process, which does not have a specific duration, and considering that in any case the Public Sector Budget Act already provides for financing in this area. 13. The Government accepts recommendation 125.195, considering that it already has a public policy on the eradication of child labour and the protection of adolescent workers, which was adopted in 2015 and is implemented by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. However, it points out that the phrase “by increasing the number of labour inspectors, particularly in remote areas” represents a concrete measure which depends on resources subject to the annual adoption of the Public Sector Budget Act. 14. The Government accepts recommendation 125.220. It does so without prejudice to its overall commitment to promoting the rights of indigenous peoples. Recommendations noted by the Government of Chile 15. Chile notes recommendations 125.1, 125.2, 125.3, 125.4, 125.5, 125.6, 125.7, 125.8, 125.9, 125.10, 125.11, 125.12, 125.13, 125.14, 125.15, 125.16 and 125.17, which refer to the ratification of certain instruments. The Government cannot in fact commit to a firm date for the discussion and possible ratification of the international instrument because the 3
