A/HRC/17/2 (c) The summary prepared by OHCHR in accordance with paragraph 15 (c) (A/HRC/WG.6/10/MOZ/3). 604. At its meeting, on 9 June 2011, the Human Rights Council considered and adopted the outcome of the review of Mozambique (see section C below). 605. The outcome of the review of Mozambique comprised the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/17/16), the views of Mozambique 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/17/16/Add.1). 1. Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome 606. Mozambique considered the recommendations an encouragement in its continuous fight for the realization of human rights. The majority of the 169 recommendations were already part of the various plans to be implemented in the Government’s five-year programme and its economic and social plan. It was on this basis that Mozambique had accepted, during the session of the Working Group, 131 of the recommendations made, postponed its position on 28 until the adoption of the outcome, and did not support only 10. 607. Mozambique had explained its position regarding every recommendation in the addendum to the report of the Working Group, with particular emphasis on recommendations that had been postponed. All pending recommendations had been accepted. In addition, two recommendations that had not been supported had now been accepted as well. Therefore, of the 169 recommendations received, 161 had been accepted, while only 8 were not supported. 608. Mozambique provided detailed information on its position on pending recommendations. It reaffirmed that a substantial number of recommendations were already being implemented. It gave the example of recommendations on accession to international instruments, noting that the Council of Ministers had approved the proposal to ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families and had submitted the proposal to the Assembly for ratification. Regarding the remaining international instruments, the process of harmonization of the positions of relevant institutions was under way, with a view to their ratification. 609. Regarding the national human rights commission, Mozambique informed the Human Rights Council that the consultative process for the appointment of the members of the commission was in its final phase, which would shortly render the institution operational. 610. With regard to the national plan for human rights, Mozambique explained that there was a consolidated draft in the final stages of harmonization among the different sectors responsible for its implementation, including civil society and development partners. Mozambique stressed that the national plan is a medium-term planning tool (2011–2014) comprising a compilation of different sectoral plans, which corresponded to the majority of the recommendations made. In this field, the plan could also serve as a monitoring mechanism for the implementation of recommendations. 611. Regarding recommendations on visits by special procedures, Mozambique remained open to receive visits from the special procedures mechanisms, though both sides need to coordinate the scheduling of dates. It also reiterated that the Government was prepared to receive those mandate holders who had shown an interest in visiting the country. GE.12-13630 175
