A/HRC/43/9/Add.1 kindergarten. The verifications carried out in recent years have shown that in all cases the failure is due to the choice to attend, for family-related reasons, Italian kindergartens adjacent to San Marino. In the next few years, our legislative system will therefore be integrated with the provision of compulsory schooling from the last year of pre-primary education. Recommendations 119.88, 119.89, 119.90, 119.91, 119.93, 119.94, 119.95 and 119.97: the San Marino legal system already contains measures to increase the representation of women in political life, such as the mandatory representation of at least 1/3 of women in electoral lists of political forces. After the last general elections, held on 8 December 2019, women participation in Parliament raised to 31.5%, compared to 26.3% of the previous legislature. In addition, one of the two Heads of State for the current six-month term and the Minister of Internal Affairs are women. With regard to public officials, women, also in managerial positions, hold most of these positions in San Marino. Recommendation 119.98 and 119.99 on raising the minimum age for military service: with regard to the two recommendations on raising the minimum age of recruitment for military service to 18 years, while accepting them, it is important to provide a clarification. There are currently five military corps in San Marino: two are professional corps (the Gendarmerie and the Uniformed Unit of the Fortress Guard), while the remaining three are voluntary corps (the Artillery of the Fortress Guard, the Uniformed Militia and the Guard of the Great and General Council). The recruitment for military service has always been voluntary and from the age of 18, as provided for by the Special Regulations of each corps. Article 3 of the law regulating military corps states that “San Marino citizens are obliged to perform military service from the age of sixteen to the age of sixty”. This article must be read in combination with the provisions of Article 4, which governs general mobilisation in special circumstances. It should be noted that, even in the most critical phases of San Marino’s history, compulsory recruitment and general mobilisation of all citizens have never been used. Setting the age of sixteen for recruitment in the case of general mobilisation is a legacy of previous regulations, the amendment of which has been planned for some time. The delay in amending this provision is only because this measure is part of a more complex reform under way, which concerns the reorganisation of the military corps and their regulations. Recommendation 119.109: we consider the recommendation already implemented since, following the presentation of the national report, Law no. 121 of 2 August 2019 was adopted, reducing the duration of residence required to request citizenship to 20 years, compared to the previous 25, and to 10 years for spouses of San Marino citizens, for persons living in a registered partnership with San Marino citizens and for children adopted by San Marino citizens through adoptio semiplena. B. Partially accepted recommendations 6. The Republic of San Marino partially accepts the following recommendation: Recommendation 119.101: San Marino does not consider it necessary to create a specialized section on childhood within courts, since specialised judges within the Court already carry out this task. With regard to the establishing of a counseling center for separated parents with children, such possibility will be assessed carefully. C. Recommendations noted 7. The Republic of San Marino takes note of the following recommendations: 119.1, 119.2, 119.3, 119.4, 119.5, 119.6, 119.7, 119.8, 119.9, 119.12, 119.13, 119.14, 119.15, 119.17, 119.18, 119.19, 119.20, 119.21, 119.22, 119.25, 119.35, 119.47, 119.51, 119.52, 119.57, 119.58, 119.69, 119.70, 119.71, 119.79, 119.80, 119.81, 119.92, 119.96, 119.106, and 119.108. 8. The Republic of San Marino would like to provide some clarifications on the recommendations listed in the previous point. 3
