The Delegation of Chile emphasized that the new anti-discrimination legislation (Law No. 20.609) was a milestone and the first regulation explicitly punishing acts of discrimination. In compliance with this law, a non-discrimination policy had been recently approved in order to protect and promote human rights without any discrimination. Its implementation was safeguarded by the Observatory on Citizen Participation and NonDiscrimination. 101. The Human Rights Department of the police (Carabineros) had been set up in 2011 with the aim of, inter alia, promoting human rights within its domain and contributing to training on human rights. The Department had updated several police protocols on the use of force and firearms. In 2013, the unit for education, doctrine and the history of the police had implemented a new human rights training programme, in accordance with relevant international standards, on the use of force and the protection of vulnerable groups, including the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population. 102.
