A/HRC/10/29 neighbouring countries. It urged the Government to reserve its approach and to accept and genuinely implement all recommendations addressed to it during its review. 693. The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Aid Network encouraged Uzbekistan to reconsider its position in paragraph 105 of the report of the Working Group, where Uzbekistan indicated that it would study the conformity of 12 recommendations to its national legislation in the light of international human rights standards. It requested Uzbekistan to indicate which recommendations of those 12 would be accepted. It also raised Uzbekistan’s refusal to decriminalize consensual same-sex sexual activity between consenting adults, noting that the laws criminalizing consensual same-sex sexual conduct were not in conformity with international obligations of privacy and non-discrimination under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It therefore urged Uzbekistan to reconsider its position and to repeal the offending provisions. (d) Concluding remarks of the State under review 694. In its concluding remarks, Uzbekistan stressed that it upheld its international obligations in the fields of human rights and freedoms on the basis of the principles of equality, constructiveness, objectivity and transparency. The universal periodic review had made it possible for Uzbekistan to have a thorough look at its national policy on human rights, including civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. Uzbekistan had instituted cooperation with civil society and established a non-State system for the protection of human rights. These institutions provided great support for the development of civil society and the rule of law in areas such as the education and care of women and children, and people with disabilities and vulnerable people. Uzbekistan had created a national association of non-governmental organizations, a social fund for support for nongovernmental organizations and a parliamentary commission. The Government firmly intended to conduct a broad-based discussion with all concerned State bodies and nongovernmental organizations, as well as with other civil society institutions and the media, to look at the recommendations emerging from the report on Uzbekistan and to develop and implement an appropriate national plan of action. 16.
