A/HRC/18/17 77. Morocco noted efforts to integrate migrants into society and sought information on measures protecting their identity and maintaining links with their countries of origin. Morocco acknowledged human rights education and awareness-raising activities and the creation of the Budapest Human Rights Forum. It welcomed the prioritization of Roma rights in the context of Hungary’s European Union Presidency, the Programme for the Decade of Roma Inclusion, the new Roma education policy, and actions for victims of domestic violence. Morocco made recommendations. 78. The delegation reported on existing constitutional provisions to guarantee the conformity of the implementation of the new Constitution with international human rights obligations. Additionally, the Constitutional Court was mandated to examine and compare domestic legislation with international agreements for the identification of possible conflicts. 79. While the new Constitution contained a non-exhaustive list of grounds for discrimination, the case-law of the Constitutional Court prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation. 80. With regard to the right to life, the delegation referred to the Constitutional provision that guaranteed the right to life and human dignity to everyone and separately stipulated that embryonic and fetal life should be subject to protection from the moment of conception. Having in mind that the current legal practice of the Constitutional Court had been in line with these provisions, there was no need for passing tougher legislation on abortion. 81. As regards the right to vote of persons with mental disability, the new Constitution contained positive provisions in line with Hungary’s international obligations. 82. The independence of the Equal Treatment Authority was guaranteed by, inter alia, its financial autonomy and the fact that its decisions could only be contested in court. 83. Having in mind that the legislation contained relevant provisions for the protection against enforced disappearances, Hungary will examine the possibility of ratifying the International Convention on Enforced Disappearances. 84. The minor and temporary limitations of the competence of the Constitutional Court were caused by the economic situation, which was claimed to have no serious impact on the ability of the Constitutional Court to review and decide upon cases brought before it. Furthermore, with the new constitutional right of an individual to appeal to the Constitutional Court, its oversight function had been strengthened. 85. Under the new Constitution, the Ombudsman will have a deputy responsible for the issue of future generations, including environmental protection. 86. The delegation reaffirmed the readiness of Hungary to cooperate with international organizations that expressed concerns about the new media legislation. Furthermore, Hungary will closely monitor the implementation of the legislation in practice, in particular those aspects which were highlighted by the experts of UN, OSCE and the Council of Europe. 87. Hungary launched a comprehensive programme to address violence in schools. In 2009, the ombudsman on educational rights conducted a comprehensive survey regarding violence in school. 88. The legislation prohibited discrimination and segregation in the education sector in line with relevant UNESCO conventions. There were also several court decisions against administrative decisions causing segregation, including against the Roma pupils. 12
