A/HRC/22/13 25. The Juveniles Act was also under revision and the Child Justice Administration Bill 2012 has been drafted. Section 28 of the Education Act 2011 prohibited the imposition or administration of corporal punishment or degrading or inhuman treatment on a learner. Through stakeholders, the Government has also produced and is distributing training modules and texts of the child protection policy to all teacher training colleges. The draft Constitution was also expected to enhance the protection of children from corporal punishment. If passed, article 55(5) (g) will prohibit corporal punishment of children in the home, school and other institutions of care. 26. The delegation stated that poverty was a major factor affecting the enjoyment of human rights. The 2030 Vision of Zambia was to be a middle income country and its efforts were being targeted, at, inter alia, wealth and job creation. Zambian national development plans have included among their objectives and activities continuous empowerment programmes and schemes for various identified vulnerable groups such as women and persons with disabilities. The Government has also recently announced an ambitious budget which proposed to create more than one million new jobs in the next five years. 27. The delegation stated that the vision of Zambia was to have a nation free from the threat of HIV and AIDS by 2030. A number of cost-effective and scientifically proven HIV, AIDS, STI and TB interventions have been implemented. Also, in recent years various programmes aimed at improved protection of the rights of persons affected and infected with HIV and AIDS have been conducted. Protection and promotion of human rights was intended to be one of the guiding pillars in the construction and implementation of the new national HIV and AIDS policy. 28. The delegation recalled that the Environmental Protection and Pollution Control Act (EPPCA) had been enacted in 1990. However, with the emergence of new environmental issues, a new Act, the Environmental Management Act (EMA) No. 12 of 2011, has been enacted. In addition to enhancing environmental protection mechanisms, the Act also augments participatory processes for local communities in decision-making in relation to the use of their natural resources. Also, the development of the National Policy on the Environment (NPE) in 2007 marked a milestone in the harmonized management of the environment and natural resources. 29. The delegation stated that in an effort to reduce pressure on forest resources, a 20year programme called the Zambia Forestry Action Programme (ZFAP, 2000-2020) had been developed, aimed at promoting sustainable management and utilization of forest resources. However, the implementation of this programme has been hampered by challenges such as insufficient funds and inadequate human resources. Zambia remained committed to this endeavour despite the admitted challenges. 30. The delegations stated that Zambia views participation in this UPR process as an opportunity to discuss its achievements, challenges, and future plans for the further promotion and protection of human rights not only within its boundaries but also around the world. Zambia welcomed those observations and recommendations that could help it achieve its goal of ensuring that every person will enjoy human rights, without discrimination. B.
