A/HRC/22/13 for promoting and protecting the rights of persons with disabilities to ensure their access to justice, education and employment, inter alia. 93. Malaysia was encouraged by the initiatives taken by Zambia in further empowering its citizens in the areas of health, education, agriculture, local government and housing. It expressed firm support in relation to the request by Zambia for capacity-building and technical assistance to further enhance effective enjoyment of human rights nationally. It made recommendations. 94. Mauritania commended the adoption by Zambia of the Law on combating Human Trafficking and the Education Act, and for taking legislative measures to domesticate the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women. It encouraged Zambia to step up its fight against HIV/AIDS and to pursue its action to improve prison conditions. 95. Mexico noted the ratification by Zambia of conventions on the rights of persons with disabilities and on protection against enforced disappearances. It welcomed measures taken to improve the education system and the increased budget for that sector. It trusted that actions undertaken to achieve equitable, accessible education at all levels would be strengthened. It made recommendations. 96. Morocco encouraged Zambia to pursue its efforts in education, health services, agriculture and housing, and in solving the prison overcrowding issue, strengthening good governance and fighting corruption. It wished to know the needs of Zambia for technical and financial assistance in promoting and protecting human rights. It made a recommendation. 97. Namibia commended the Zambian Government for its commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights. It noted the ratification of most core international human rights instruments and the enactment of robust national legislation, including Anti-Human Trafficking Act No. 11, and the establishment of the National action plan on gender-based violence. It made recommendations. 98. With regard to the national budget for health, the delegation acknowledged that Zambia has not reached the 15 per cent threshold but that there had been a significant increase in the budget over the years. In 2010, the national budget for health was 8.2 per cent; in 2011 it was 8.6 per cent; in 2012 it was 9.3 per cent and for 2013 it will be 11.3 per cent. These budgetary allocations corrected the perception that there was a decrease in the budgetary allocation for health in 2012. 99. With regard to inheritance rights, the delegation acknowledged that few problems existed but endeavoured to correct the perception that female children were deprived of their inheritance. The Intestate Succession Act guaranteed all children of persons who died intestate 50 per cent of the estate irrespective of their gender. Twenty per cent is guaranteed to the wife, with a further 20 per cent awarded to the parents and 10 per cent to other beneficiaries. This Act enshrined the right of female children and wives to inherit and was enforced in the local courts. 100. The delegation stated that all constitutional rights were enshrined in Part 3 of the Constitution and amending this text would necessitate a referendum in which a minimum of 50 per cent of all eligible voters must accede to such amendment. It was therefore impossible for Zambia to adopt a top-down approach with regard to these rights and it must accede to the wishes of its people as a matter of necessity. 101. The delegation thanked the Troika and all delegations for their constructive comments and recommendations. 13
