administration decide to avoid this responsibility by letting those children know that they can be free of education. Normally, Roma child than enrolled in educational system later that seven years and reach 16 years being under the 9th grade has to be informed by the school administration not only about the possibility to but also about the opportunity to continue the education until the age of 18 under their own responsibility. Article 28 of the Regulation framework on the organization of the admission process in higher education of Bachelor’s degree (Licentiate) for the 2015-2016 academic year. 15% from the total number of places (at each specialty), provided by the enrollment plan with budget financing is determined for: Orphan children Children with disability Children of parents with disability Children of parents, who participated in Transnistrian war, Afganistan was, participated in reparation activities in Cernobil, and in military operation in Irak. Children with 4 or more children Children from Transnistria Roma children Children who performed the military service in time When the candidates of Roma origin only pretend to a budgetary place in university in line with candidates of all other categories, usually the free place is given to that candidate who is more vulnerable and in need of this place. A competition of vulnerability is organized within the educational system. The comparison of children of such different categories is not objectives, as the groups they present are of very different complexity. A comparison and competition of children for university places will be objective and logical when performed only within candidates of the same category. In this circumstances can be compared their school results and merits and the best student of one category would benefit the free university place. Both Action for supporting Roma in Republic of Moldova stipulated different means of enhancing the educational aspect of the Roma situation, however the plans did not have enough financial basis to for their implementation. The emphasis of the Roma Action Plan 2007-2010 was put on the elaboration of a curricula on Roma language, history and culture and its implementation in schools of localities predominantly populated by Roma.

As part of this, the current Review of processes for environmental assessment in Canada proposes to be responsive to Indigenous rights, jurisdiction and recognizing that the Government is committed to a renewed relationship with Indigenous peoples, nation-to-nation, Inuit-to-Crown, This renewed relationship is based on the recognition of rights, respect, co-operation and partnership. Information on the Statute of Limitations regarding the Mount Polley disaster The federal and provincial governments take environmental protection very seriously. The British Columbia Conservation Officer Service, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Environment and Climate Change Canada are conducting the investigation into the tailings pond breach at the Mount Polley mine site. To date, evidence has been collected regarding the breach under the provincial Environmental Management Act and the federal Fisheries Act. All of the information gathered during the course of this investigation will be considered by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada should charges be recommended. Sections 25(1) and 36(3) of the Fisheries Act – general prohibition against destruction of fish habitat, and deposit of a deleterious substance to water frequented by fish, respectively – are the classic pollution charges. Under section 82 of the federal Fisheries Act there is a limitation period of 5 years where the Crown proceeds summarily. There is no limitation period where the Crown proceeds indictably under the Fisheries Act. Under Section 124 of the B.C. Environmental Management Act, a statute under which charges might be laid in the Mount Polley matter, there is a limitation period of 3 years after the facts on which the information is based arose, or 18 months after the facts became known if a special certificate was issued by the B.C. Minister of the Environment. This limitation period still applies where the Crown proceeds indictably. Who accords the to non-indigenous partners (e.g. resource extraction companies) to continue with their activities without ceasing even when the dispute is not solved or if the treaty is still before the courts? The legal duty to consult arises when the Crown (federal and provincial) contemplates any conduct that could have an impact on either asserted or established Aboriginal or Treaty Rights. Major projects have the potential to adversely impact established or asserted Aboriginal and Treaty rights as affirmed in section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 and as a result, meaningful consultation surrounding these projects is critical. Canada’s consultation approach to major projects enables early engagement with Indigenous groups, provides support for their participation in consultations, and

Assessment of effectiveness Because much violence against women and children is underreported, it is extremely difficult to assess the effectiveness of recent measures. However, the Family Violence Clearinghouse compiles from official sources a range of statistics on violence against women and girls. The FVC 2017 reports indicate that violence against women and children remains disturbingly high. Key statistics are: In 2016 the Police investigated 118,910 family violence incidents, up from 110,126 in the 2015 year. Responding to family violence accounts for 41% of a frontline Police officer’s time. The Family Violence Clearinghouse reports that since the release of the 2013 data summary, the Police have not updated the data for the number of children linked to family violence investigations. Hence in 2012 101,293 children were linked to family violence investigations. No updating data are recorded. In 2016 Police issued 15,994 Police safety orders, compared with the 13,997 issued in 2015. In 2016, 8% of Police safety orders were breached, the same proportion as in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, the Police recorded 24,086 assaults against female victims, up from the 22,062 recorded in 2015. 55% of these assaults involved a partner, ex-partner, boyfriend/girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, girlfriend.
assistance must have a right to remain in the country. This effectively rules out the possibility of asylum seekers receiving such assistance. While asylum seekers are eligible for some government assistance, it is insufficient to cover the market rent of houses. Some asylum seekers who receive the emergency benefit may be eligible for assistance on a case-by-case basis. As of June 2014, the New Zealand government cut all funding to the Asylum Seekers Support Trust (formerly the Auckland Refugee Council) who provided Auckland’s only asylum seeker accommodation. However, due to significant community support, the hostel has been able to remain open and has operated at full capacity. It must be recognised first that the service provided by the Asylum Seekers Support Trust is limited. Secondly, asylum seekers are often destitute and traumatized, having had to flee and leave family behind. It seems evident that there is a gap in support here because upon arrival, many are largely without assistance and unable to cover the market rent of a house. Asylum seekers: to work Asylum seekers are able to work as long as they have a work visa to remain in New Zealand. In order to be issued with a work visa, asylum seekers must demonstrate a need to work to support themselves in New Zealand while their claims are ongoing. Immigration New Zealand now issues work visas with a twelve-month validity to increase the incentive to employ asylum seekers, and improve job prospects.

According to the article 29 of the Constitution and the article 152 of the Civil Code, right to property means acknowledged right, protected by the state, of a subject to possess, use and dispose of property (chattel) belonging to such subject on his own or together with others at their discretion.

According to the law on Alienation of for State Needs of 20 April 2010, right to use and rent private, municipal, or state lands can be taken away for state needs, not depending on the constraints determined for the conditions under which the land is rented or being used. Land owners shall be notified a month prior to the alienation of the land for state needs. If they accept, the property owners shall be compensated.

representatives from organizations in the private and parastatals sector meet and discuss employment and human resources issues, including the management of employment of migrant workers. Mr Chair, Indeed much has been achieved by Seychelles to ensure that migrant workers and their families enjoy the same human rights as Seychellois. We are however mindful of the challenges that we need to overcome in order to continue to effectively implement the Convention. Reinforcing the capacity of front line officers particularly the labour inspectors is important so we may remain abreast with emerging challenges and address them effectively. Strengthening the quality of data available on migrant workers will assist the Government in making policy interventions. Our limited resources and capacity as a small country vis-a-vis the increasing number of migrant workers, at times hinders our pace in achieving our objectives. We nonetheless remain confident and welcome the technical support of our national and international partners in our endeavors.For us to make greater progress, all partners must play their part in raising awareness of the Convention. This will guide stakeholders and society as a whole in providing the necessary support to migrant workers and their families at all times. Mr Chair, Essentially, as part of the Seychelles Decent Work Country Programme, my Ministry to undertake an analysis on the situation of migrant workers
Regarding the employment agencies, in Timor-Leste, there are two agencies that have been licensed by the Government for five years, and are able to renew this license for the same period. These two agencies are KONEKTO and Invest People (IP), and to date there have been no complaints against them. After the referendum in 1999 that saw violence committed by pro-integration militia groups against the population, nearly 200,000 Timorese fled to West Timor. By 2002, 196,000 of these people had returned to Timor-Leste. At the same time, when Timor- Leste restored its independence as the result of the aforementioned referendum, Timorese people, especially those living in Australia, Portugal and Mozambique also returned to Timor-Leste, but there is no data on how many returned from these countries. Ten years ago, when an opportunity was presented to work overseas, nearly 33,209 Timorese went to Indonesia, Australia, Great Britain (England and Northern Island) and Portugal. In relation to the 1,817workers sent by Secretariat of State for Employment Policy and Vocational Training to the Republic of Korea, 287 have returned to Timor-Leste and 1,530 are still working there. From a total of 277 who went to Australia, 141 have returned and 136 are still there. Information relating to the articles of the Convention The Public Prosecution Service, through the police, are able to investigate crimes, and the Office of the Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice also has the competence to analyze complaints and forward them or explain how they can be submitted to the courts or other relevant authorities. National Directorate for Labour Relations (DNRT) and the National Directorate for Labour Conditions (DNKT) within the Inspectorate-General for Labour also have the competence to analyze complaints from all migrant workers and to examine any violations of their rights.

An ineffective National Advisory Body for Development formed in 1997, to be From the NGO Consultation with both government and non government participants and consultations with students, from three secondary schools and one alternative school, it was found that knowledge about the Convention is still deficient among children and youth, parents, teachers and caregivers and other government stakeholders and the report has not been widely available. Students from all schools had not of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Only 11 Students knew laws were made by Parliament. The rest of the students did not know the role of parliament, the sources of law and thought the Members of Parliaments job was to look after the village. They did not know what the MPs role was in Parliament. The outcome of Consultations with 106 school children in 3 secondary schools and one alternative school was that none of the children had heard of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

21: Please explain what measures are being adopted to respect the right of persons with disabilities, especially persons with psychosocial and/or intellectual disabilities, to marry and found a family. Response: At the time of preparation and submission of this report, there were no measures in place to anchor and facilitate respect to the right of persons with disabilities, especially persons with psychosocial and/or intellectual disabilities, to marry and found a family. The Marriage Act, 2014 and especially section 11 (2) are hostile to marriages involving adult persons with disabilities. This piece of legislation provides ‘unsound mind’ as a ground for dissolution of marriage. There is also hostile community attitude towards acceptance of marriage between 2 persons with disabilities especially those with intellectual disabilities. Proposed recommendations on Article 23: a) Ensure support to families with persons with disabilities to raise their children at home. Take steps to develop quality support services to families of children with disabilities in both urban and rural areas as well as make available sufficient financial support and benefits for families to care for their disabled child; and ensure the availability and effective dissemination of information to parents about services and benefits. Ensure support, information and advice, and training courses for parents and caregivers of children with disability so they are equipped to facilitate children’s participation in the community and assistance to express their views and to be consulted. b) Take concrete steps to scale up the Cash transfer initiative to facilitate independence as children with disabilities transit to adulthood. With regards to Cash Transfers, take steps, in close consultation with representative organisations of persons with disabilities to formulate guidelines through which support services rendered by families to children with disabilities is quantified. c) Take immediate steps to repeal discriminatory provisions of the Family Law and guarantee persons with intellectual disabilities, persons with psychosocial disabilities, and persons under guardianship, the right to marry and to adopt on an equal basis with others. d) Enact legislation which prohibits the child being separated from their parents on the basis of the disability of either the child or one or both of the parents. Education (art. 24) Issue 22: Please explain in detail how the party is working towards inclusive education, in particular for children with high-level support needs. Please also give information on the current status of inclusive education in the education policy. Response:

in clinical trials, or for use in clinical practice, perhaps to allow an intervention intended to reverse, or at least slow, clinical progression. A good example of a biomarker that has proven value as an early indicator of the need for clinical action is the rate of change in serum creatinine as a biomarker for incipient renal failure [12, 13] . Surrogate endpoints have a chequered history. In the statistical literature, the widely cited “Prentice criteria" for surrogacy [7] are very difficult to establish in practice. In particular, establishing a correlation between a health outcome and a biomarker is far from sufficient to establish surrogacy [14] . In the medical literature, Psaty et al [15] discuss how treatments that appear beneficial on the basis of a surrogate end-point can later prove to have a harmful effect on the relevant clinical end-point. Modern technological developments are increasingly opening up new possibilities for biomarker discovery. Traditionally, the term “biomarker” refer to a direct biophysical or biochemical measurement. Nowadays, however, the term can include summary descriptors of an intrinsically high-dimensional object, such as a digital image, a time series, or a chemical spectrum, termed “biosignals”. Our work to explore acoustic emission (AE) as a biomarker for knee OA [16-19] illustrates some of the challenges which are being raised by the ever-broadening scope of technologies being explored as potential biosignals. As described below, the raw data from an AE time series consist of a record of recorded from knees throughout a person's sit-stand-sit movement. Low levels of AE are potentially contaminated by background noise. For this reason, the recording equipment stores only AE levels that exceed a pre-specified threshold. Each such exceedance is termed a “hit”. Potential biomarkers include the frequency and positions of trial
that would integrate all information regarding the execution of government subsidy programs, including assistance programs for VAW victims, thereby attempting further to violate the information rights of crime victims. 10. Data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions, convictions and sentences imposed relating to the number of women and children trafficked Children According to the 2016 Prosecution Yearbook published by the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, the number of cases for which trafficking was reported were 195. 49.7% of those victims were below the age of 15. When trafficking victims below the age of 20 are added to the estimates, the percentage of victims in this age group ranges to 68%. The number of cases involving violations of the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles Against Sexual Abuse (including prostitution) was 336. 45.25% of those victims were below the age of 15 and 65.78% were below the age of 20. This represents a relatively high proportion of young children being exposed to human trafficking and prostitution. <2016 Statistics, Supreme Prosecutors’ Office> ≤ 6 ≤ 12 ≤ 15 ≤ 20 20 unidentified subtotal Total Trafficking male 15 (7.69%) 17 (8.72%) 3 (1.54%) 6 (3.08%) 16 (8.21%) - 57 (29.23%) 195 (100.0%) Kidnapping and Abduction Female 19 (9.74%) 22 (11.28%) 21 (10.77%) 29 (14.87%) 41 (21.03%) - 132 (67.69%) 195 (100.0%) Kidnapping and Abduction unidentified 6 (3.08%) 195 (100.0%) Act on the protection of children and juveniles male - - 2 (0.60%) 2 (0.60%) 2 (0.60%) 17 (5.06%) 23 (6.85%) 336 (100.0%)
