A/HRC/10/72 Page 7 introduced into the legislative system following the adoption of a new law on foreigners in July 2008. However, as paragraph 31 of the summary of the civil society contribution refers to discrimination on jobs against migrants that are not nationals of the European economic area when it comes to family reunification, Algeria asked for clarification on existing provisions on family reunification for migrant workers, especially for non-members of the European economic area. Algeria recommended that Luxembourg accede to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Member of Their Families. 20. Azerbaijan commended the approach taken by Luxembourg to the promotion and protection of human rights. However, it noted that Luxembourg is not party to some human rights instruments and asked the country to sign and ratify the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Member of Their Families, and ratify the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance and the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture. Azerbaijan asked how the Government intends to tackle the question of incidents of racism and xenophobia, in particular against Arabs and Muslims, indicated by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It also asked for comments on the statement of the Committee against Torture indicating that Luxembourg law does not defend the principle of non-refoulement. Azerbaijan noted that the underrepresentation of women, forced marriages and the wage gap between men and women are global phenomena. It commended the Government for its efforts to address those issues. Azerbaijan recommended that Luxembourg intensify efforts to combat human trafficking and applauded its large contribution to the budget of international organizations. 21. Italy congratulated Luxembourg on its comprehensive national report and asked whether it intends to proceed with the ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography. While welcoming the legislative and institutional initiatives taken by the Government of Luxembourg to strengthen the fight against all forms of racial discrimination, Italy recommended that the Government transmit to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination its overdue national reports, in order to share its experience in this domain. 22. Malaysia commended the adoption of new legal and policy measures by the Government of Luxembourg aimed at strengthening the protection of the human rights not only of its people, but also of foreigners and asylum-seekers. Malaysia also noted with approval the State’s serious efforts to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography. Malaysia was also interested in knowing what has been done to address the issues of the persistence of stereotypical attitudes towards women, mentioned in the observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women in 2008, as well as of racist and xenophobic incidents, particularly against Arabs and Muslims, and discriminatory attitudes towards ethnic minorities by public officials, quoted in the Committee’s observations in 2005. Malaysia recommended that the recommendations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination be adopted, in particular those calling for all officials coming into contact with minority groups to receive human rights training and the recommendation that any organization promoting or inciting discrimination should be declared illegal and prohibited, and recognition that participation in such organizations is an offence punishable by law. 23. In response to comments and questions put forward by various delegations, Luxembourg mentioned that, regarding conventions that it has not yet ratified, a draft law was tabled on 13 March 2008 for the ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture.
