A/HRC/16/2 403. At its 31st meeting, on 16 March 2011, the Human Rights Council considered and adopted the outcome of the review of Mongolia (see section C below). 404. The outcome of the review of Mongolia comprises the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/16/5), the views of Mongolia concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, and its voluntary commitments and replies presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary to questions or issues that were not sufficiently addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group. 1. Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, on its voluntary commitments and on the outcome 405. The delegation of Mongolia expressed its appreciation for the constructive engagement of Member and observer States of the Human Rights Council in the interactive dialogue on Mongolia’s universal periodic review. In recent months, the Government had held extensive dialogue and consultations with relevant State agencies and nongovernmental organizations regarding the recommendations made during the interactive dialogue as well as Mongolia’s voluntary commitments. 406. Recalling that 129 recommendations had been made by delegations during the review in November 2010, Mongolia had accepted 118 of these recommendations and postponed the consideration of 11. After careful consideration of the remaining 11 recommendations in the post-interactive dialogue period, the Government decided to accept 8 recommendations and not to accept 3 recommendations at this stage. 407. The delegation provided further explanations on its position towards the abovementioned 11 recommendations. With regard to recommendations 86.1 and 86.2, Mongolia expressed its willingness to accede to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families and to the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the Protocol thereto, having in mind that the accession to these instruments was linked to Mongolia’s national security interests. While the Government had submitted its findings and conclusions on accession to these conventions to Parliament, the final decision fell to Parliament and thus, the Government was not in a position to declare acceptance of recommendations 86.1 and 86.2 at this stage. 408. Similarly, Mongolia was not in a position to accept recommendation 86.3, which requested to mandate the Constitutional Court to act upon violations of individual rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution. The Government had found it impractical to mandate the Constitutional Court, which carried supreme supervision over the implementation of the Constitution, to receive and address all individual complaints regarding the breach of the constitutional rights and freedoms, as the Constitution stipulated that the Court should review and pass judgement on disputes at the request of Parliament, the President, the Prime Minister, the Supreme Court or the Prosecutor General and/or on its own initiative on the basis of petitions and information received from citizens. Furthermore, specialized courts on civil and administrative cases functioned to deal with the above-mentioned cases. Nevertheless, the Government expressed its commitment to study the proposal further. 409. The Government had accepted recommendation 86.4, which requested to consider accepting individual complaint mechanisms, such as those provided for in the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention against Torture, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Mongolia was already a party to the Optional Protocols to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and to the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination against Women, and would consider the possibility of making declarations provided for in 160 GE.11-17059
