A/HRC/11/15 Page 13 61. Colombia requested additional information on the Alliance for Democracy and Tolerance - against Extremism and Violence which has led to the establishment of networks with the participation of civil society to find solutions to human rights challenges. Colombia asked about the strategy which has been adopted to achieve the active participation of civil society in this project and the indicators that made it possible to measure the progress achieved. 62. Indonesia noted references to too frequent occurrences of, inter alia, right-wing extremist and xenophobic attitudes and aggressive behaviour of police and law-enforcement officers against foreigners. Indonesia referred to the recent law restricting the use of religious symbols, thereby de facto targeting and discriminating Muslim women. Indonesia recommended the Government ensure that laws and policies are consistent with CEDAW and ICERD by revising or revoking laws and regulations that prohibit religious symbols or clothing for teachers and civil servants and are deemed contravening the freedom of religion and expression. 63. Italy noted that the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) recommended the adoption of legislation providing for racist motivation to be considered as an aggravating circumstance in all offences. CERD recommended the adoption of a comprehensive definition of racial discrimination. Italy noted that both ECRI and CERD encouraged Germany to take steps to ensure the integration of children who do not have German citizenship into the regular school system. Italy welcomed the National Integration Plan and asked about measures taken to promote integration. Italy recommended Germany take fully into account the relevant recommendations of CERD aimed at ensuring the integration of non-German children into the regular school system. 64. Brazil welcomed the adoption of the Anti-Discrimination Act, while it expressed concern due to the increase of reported racial-related incidents. It also noted concerns relating to deportation and return policies, as well as to providing migrants with access to social, economic and cultural rights. Brazil asked for elaboration on public bodies providing migration authorities with personal information on migrants. Within the context of paragraph 1 (a) of resolution 9/12 of the Council, entitled “Human Rights Goals”, Brazil recommended the withdrawal of German reservations and declarations to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and to ratify its optional protocol OP-CRC-SC. It also recommended the adoption of a clear and comprehensive definition of racial discrimination, in full compliance with CERD recommendations. Lastly, Brazil recommended the implementation of the United Nations target of allocations at least 0.7 per cent of GDP to official development assistance, in order to help achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. 65. Burundi noted that Germany has been able to learn the necessary lessons of its history during the 20th century. Burundi also welcomed inter alia the recent positive developments in the field of asylum and integration policy, as well as the amendment in 2007 to the law on residency. Burundi also welcomed the policy on promoting gender equality and measures to promote conciliation of family life as models for many nations, as well as the parental allowance and partner month scheme. 66. Bosnia and Herzegovina, observing that the German Institute for Human Rights acts as an independent human rights institution, asked Germany to elaborate on its activities and obligations. It requested information on State legislation to protect children from abuse of drugs, tobacco, alcohol and other toxic substances. It asked if Germany intends to ratify the OP-CRCSC.
