The authorities should take all appropriate steps to ensure that people whose

the necessary documents to register the houses as private property and thus ensure
that they do not remain vulnerable to arbitrary interference in their land and
property rights.

The authorities should continue their efforts to develop a comprehensive
national housing strategy, including a social housing component, to ensure that the
right to adequate housing is fully realized, as expressed in general comment No. 9

The authorities should take appropriate measures to ensure that all children
enjoy full access to primary education and beyond.

instruction in minority languages progressively integrated into the curriculum.
On gender equality and gender-based issues

The authorities should prioritize the fight against any form of gender-based
violence, such as domestic violence, forced marriages and trafficking in human beings.

respect to linguistic policy, education and participation in decision-making for
