A/HRC/14/9 domestic legislation that contradict principles and provisions of the Conventions, as recommended by the Human Rights Committee, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Committee on the Rights of the Child, respectively (Israel); As indicated in the national report and during the interactive dialogue, international instruments concerning human rights and freedoms, once ratified, prevail over domestic legislation and are directly applied by judges. Should a previous domestic norm be in conflict with an international instrument, the latter always prevails. 3. To establish a high-level platform for the monitoring and promotion of women’s rights and gender equality, and to ensure that a gender perspective is mainstreamed in policy- and decision-making (Canada); 4. To establish a special entity entrusted with promoting women’s rights or, alternatively, to expand the functions of the Equal Opportunities Commission (Chile); San Marino is not in a position to accept recommendations Nos. 3 and 4 above, because three institutions in place - namely, the Ministry for Health, Social Security, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities; the Authority for Equal Opportunities; and the Equal Opportunities Commission – already perform, under their respective mandates, the functions of protecting, promoting and monitoring women’s rights; 5. To consider amending the Declaration of Citizens’ Rights to expressly include such grounds as race, colour, language, nationality and national or ethnic origin, which are currently subsumed under the notion of "personal status” (Brazil); 6. To adopt a comprehensive legal framework explicitly prohibiting discrimination on the various grounds that are currently subsumed under article 4 of the Declaration of Citizens’ Rights (Mexico); 7. To explicitly include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected grounds under the principle of non-discrimination in relevant legislation and programmes, and to apply the Yogyakarta principles with regard to human rights and sexual orientation and gender identity (Czech Republic); San Marino is not in a position to accept recommendations Nos. 5, 6 and 7 above, because the definition of “personal status”, set out in the Declaration on Citizens’ Rights and Fundamental Principles of San Marino Constitutional Order, already includes all grounds for discrimination. That interpretation has been reaffirmed through San Marino case law; 8. To amend its legislation in order to ensure that children are not discriminated against on the grounds of nationality (Brazil); San Marino is not in a position to accept the recommendation above, since children are not discriminated against on the basis of their nationality; 9. To abolish the discriminatory provision requiring a foreigner to present a guarantor in order to be able to initiate a civil action before a court (Czech Republic); 15
