A/HRC/28/17 regarding discrimination. It welcomed measures regarding Roma and the collection of data on discrimination, but noted failures regarding fundamental freedoms. 61. Finland commended the establishment of a national Council for Persons with Disabilities and efforts to eliminate differential treatment based on disability or geographical location, despite remaining challenges. It expressed concern regarding justice for victims of war crimes involving sexual violence and called for accelerated prosecutions and the ensuring of access to judicial and health services for victims. 62. France welcomed ratification of ICPPED. It asked what practical measures had been taken to increase the participation of women in civic and professional spheres and combat domestic violence. It also asked what action had been taken to combat impunity in cases of sexual violence committed during the war. 63. Germany welcomed the progress regarding human rights legislation, particularly steps to combat trafficking and address the situation of internally displaced persons. It encouraged further efforts to improve the human rights situation, in particular through adequately resourced implementation programmes in accordance with the rule of law. 64. Hungary commended efforts to ensure proper data collection, but reiterated concerns regarding the failure to fully implement previous recommendations, notably due to inadequate resources. It welcomed the progress on Roma inclusion, women’s rights, and gender equality. The situation of internally displaced persons and returnees remained a concern, despite a revised strategy in that regard. 65. The head of the delegation of Bosnia and Herzegovina enumerated a number of the human rights issues which had been raised in the review. In relation to the return of refugees and internally displaced persons, he noted that 99 per cent of their housing had been returned to them since the end of the war, but problems in ensuring sustainability had contributed to a slow rate of return. Moreover, the living conditions for many of those that had returned were not yet satisfactory. The recent elections had still not resulted in the formation of a new Government, but the leaders had spoken of the priority of implementing the decision in the case of Sejdić and Finci and improving cooperation within Bosnia and Herzegovina. He expressed the hope that it would finally be resolved and that the electoral law would be amended. 66. The Assistant Minister for Human Rights noted the communications which Bosnia and Herzegovina had recently received under the individual communications procedures of several treaties, and its standing invitation to the special procedures. She also noted a number of activities in the process, including the action plan for children and amendments to the Law on the Ombudsman, which would be submitted to parliament in early 2015. The latter would include the creation of a national preventive mechanism and an increase in the independence of the Ombudsman institution, in accordance with the Paris Principles. Technical amendments to the Anti-Discrimination Law would improve the procedures for protection from discrimination. She noted the many judgements under that law in the past years. 67. The Assistant Minister also noted the elimination in the majority of municipalities of the problem of birth registration of Roma children, with the assistance of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the United Nations Children’s Fund, and amendments to the legislation. In relation to street children and their social exclusion and exploitation, the Ministry had initiated research and created local teams and a number of day-care centres to support both the children and their families. The Bosnia and Herzegovina and entity Governments had adopted plans and activities, in cooperation with the NGOs, with the aim of ensuring support for victims of domestic violence. 10
