A/HRC/11/29 Page 16 Human Rights Committee and the Committee on the Rights of the Child, it recommended Jordan (a) consider changing legislation to prohibit all forms of corporal punishment also at home and effectively enforce a ban on corporal punishment in all settings. It expressed concern about limitations to women’s progress and participation and asked if Jordan is considering enacting a comprehensive gender-equality law. Further to recommendations by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, it recommended Jordan (b) address all forms of violence against women and girls and enact legislation in this field. It also recommended (c) amending the Criminal Code to ensure that perpetrators of honour crimes do not benefit from reduction of penalty and that these crimes are treated like other violent crimes in regard to investigation and prosecution. 78. The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya stated that the Constitution guarantees the principle of equality, individual freedom, freedom of expression, movement and residence, religion and family rights. It noted the strategies for health care, rehabilitation and redress and social and religious guidance as priorities under the Constitution. It noted the importance of health and health care in Jordan, as the Health Ministry is the second largest. It wished further prosperity and success to Jordan in its efforts to ensure attainment of the MDGs. 79. Ireland, noting the amendment to the Criminal Code and the de facto moratorium on application of the death penalty, recommended that Jordan (a) take further concrete steps to move quickly towards the abolition of the death penalty. Ireland noted evidence that, despite the prison reform programme, torture and ill-treatment still occur and asked about plans to eradicate them. It recommended that Jordan (b) prioritize such actions and that allegations of torture and ill-treatment of convicted prisoners and detainees be investigated in a timely, transparent and independent fashion. Noting concerns about administrative detention, it recommended that the Jordanian Government (c) actively seek to address these concerns and to review the use of administrative detention and ensure that current detainees have access to legal representation and to the courts. 80. The Syrian Arab Republic said Jordan is an Arab country which has attained excellent levels of sustainable development despite its lack of resources and economic burden and while hosting Iraqi refugees. The constitutional framework guarantees fundamental freedoms and there are numerous laws and institutions concerning health, housing, free basic education, empowerment of woman and childcare. Noting that more than 45 women serve in the judiciary, it asked to hear about courses to upgrade women’s negotiating skills and the application of the relevant laws. 81. The Republic of Korea while appreciating the ratification of most human rights instruments, expressed concerned about the domestication of international obligations. It asked about the government’s plans to prevent honour killings, noting with concern their frequency and the references by treaty bodies and NGOs to leniency towards perpetrators in the Criminal Code and judicial practice. It drew attention to treaty bodies’ recommendation that Jordan should give consideration to transferring the criminal jurisdiction both of the State Security Court and the Police Court to ordinary courts. 82. While appreciating the measures to address torture and impunity the Czech Republic recommended Jordan (a) increase its efforts to eliminate cases of torture, especially by security services, to ensure their prevention and the punishment of persons responsible for any such acts.
