Liechtenstein commended Germany’s commitment to the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment. It congratulated Germany for having ratified the OP-CAT. 25. The Russian Federation expressed concern that migrants, including from Russia and other former Soviet Union countries, are sometimes seen as second-class citizens and experience difficulties in integration, leading to marginalization and criminalization. It recommended that Germany undertake additional measures to support migrants and implement recommendations of the treaty bodies, including from the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), on support for migrants’ families. The Russian Federation noted that Germany is not completely free from corruption. It recommended that Germany make additional efforts to combat corruption and to examine the possibility of ratifying the United Nations Convention against Corruption. 26.

It asked whether the Government had analyzed the activity of Jugendamt towards parents with other than German citizenship in the light of international obligations, in particular the right to respect for family life.
