Committee on Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights
2 May 2014The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights today considered the combined second to third periodic report of Monaco.
Presenting
the report, Carole Lanteri, Permanent Representative of Monaco to the
United Nations Office at Geneva, said Monaco was engaged in the
promotion and protection of human rights and this commitment could be
seen in many efforts.The position of the High Commissioner for the Protection of Rights,
Freedoms and Mediation had been created. Nationality laws had been
changed to come to grips with new family situations and to avoid the
case of stateless children. Professional training for those that would
be in contact with victims of violence had also been set up. The
Government was undertaking a policy of international cooperation mainly
aimed at eradicating poverty, despite a particularly difficult
international context.
During the interactive dialogue Committee
Experts asked about the apparent lack of interest of Monaco in
ratifying protocols and regional instruments; non-discrimination, the
exercise of professional activity and the application of the principle
of non-discrimination on the grounds of national origin; quality of work
for persons with disabilities; gender equality; integration of human
rights education into the curricula of the educational system; and
whether the Human Rights Commissioner for the Protection of Rights,
Freedoms and Mediation was in line with the Paris Principles. Experts
also requested more information on Monaco’s official development
assistance and enquired about whether there had been consultations with
civil society during the preparation of the report.
In
concluding remarks, Ms. Lanteri thanked all the members of the Committee
for the interest shown in studying the report and replies to the list
of issues, as well as for their questions. It was hoped that the
specific situation of Monaco had been clarified as best possible, and
that this would be of use in drawing up recommendations.
Clement
Atangana, Committee Expert and Country Rapporteur for the report of
Monaco, said the Committee would now turn to drawing up concluding
observations and it was hoped that the Committee would be able to
faithfully reflect the debate.
