A/HRC/10/80 page 7 36. Turkey welcomed the recent legislative reforms and the measures to combat the marginalization of women and to eliminate discrimination against women. It encouraged Burkina Faso to pursue its efforts to combat discrimination against women based on customary traditional cultural practices, which illustrated the importance of education. It therefore encouraged Burkina Faso to increase its action and promote access to education. Turkey noted a delay with regard to the State’s reporting to treaty bodies and its request for technical assistance to train national professionals. 37. Argentina noted the persistence of patriarchical attitudes, cultural stereotypes and traditions and customs that discriminate against women, particularly in rural areas. It enquired about existing policies promoting gender equality and equal opportunities, particularly in rural areas, about their implementation and the assessment of implementation. With reference to the recommendation that Burkina Faso improve the conditions of juveniles in detention, that in some cases amount to inhuman and degrading treatment, Argentina enquired about measures that could be taken to establish special detention facilities for children. 38. Chile welcomed the progress made in the area of women’s rights. It acknowledged, however, that there are also deep-rooted traditional practices that are an obstacle to the application of the law. Chile also noted that the Person/Family Code still allows polygamy and recommended that (a) polygamy be eliminated. Chile reaffirmed the importance of combating forced marriages and enquired about the impact of the measures adopted in this regard. It noted concerns by non-governmental organizations regarding child trafficking and child labour and the recommendations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child to bring national legislation into line with the Convention. Chile requested information on the measures taken in this regard. It noted that several journalists had been intimidated for criticizing the Head of State, his family or friends and recommended that (b) the authorities take all necessary measures to protect journalists who have been victims of intimidation, and identify and bring the perpetrators before the courts. Chile recommended that the Government (c) abolish the death penalty and (d) ratify the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It also welcomed the resolution reaffirming the moratorium on death penalty adopted in 2008. It echoed the call of the delegation that (e) the international community should assist Burkina Faso to fulfil its international human rights obligations. 39. Italy commended Burkina Faso for its longstanding de facto moratorium on executions and its recent stance adopted at the General Assembly. Italy recommended that Burkina Faso consider the establishment of a de jure moratorium on death penalty with a view to abolishing capital punishment in national legislation. Italy was concerned about detention conditions and recommended that Burkina Faso improve detention facilities and overall detention conditions, also by means of training law enforcement officials in human rights. While encouraging Burkina Faso to take full advantage of current international cooperation programmes aimed at fighting trafficking in children and child labour, Italy recommended the effective implementation of the international instruments ratified and focusing on the protection of the child and children’s rights. 40.
